Eruptions in Malayalam
Where eruptions means spots breaking out on the skin, Malayalam has പൊക്കല് (pokkal). The word is said pok-kal and is used of rashes and pox blisters, not of volcanoes. For a mountain throwing out lava you would need a different expression altogether, which this entry does not supply.
Most common translation

Dictionary entry
- പൊക്കല് (pokkal) — Eruptions on the skin, chicken pox.
The single option പൊക്കല് (pokkal) is limited to skin eruptions such as those of chicken pox, so it should not be stretched to volcanic or political senses of the English word.
