Encompass in Malayalam
Encircling or surrounding something is ചൂഴുക (choozhuka). It is a native verb with the retroflex zh, so the sound is closer to choo-ruka than an English reader expects. Malayalam uses it of hills ringing a valley and of a crowd closing around someone.
Encompass, encircle, surround.
മലകൾ ഈ ഗ്രാമത്തെ ചൂഴുകയാണ്.
malakal ee graamaththe choozhukayaanu.
Mountains surround this village.
