Ebb in Malayalam
No single word for the ebb tide appears here. ഇറങ്ങുക (iranguka) is the ordinary verb for going down or receding, used of a falling water level, a subsiding swelling and even stepping off a bus; for the tide going out, Malayalam combines the word for tide with this idea of coming down.
Descend, alight, ebb, become less.
അവള് പടികള് ഇറങ്ങി താഴെ വന്നു
aval padikal irangi thaazhe vannu
She came down the steps.
