Excessive in Malayalam

Anything present in too great a measure can be called ഉത്കട (uthkada), a stem that stands before the noun it describes. Malayalam more often builds the same idea with the prefix athi-, which attaches straight to a noun: അതിവര്‍ഷം (athivarsham) is excessive rain. For plain intensification there is അതീവ (atheeva).
