Gram in Malayalam

This entry is misleading, because every word in it is a grammar term, picked up where the dictionary abbreviates grammar as gram. Nothing here means a gram of weight or the pulse called gram. നാമം (naamam) means a name, and in grammar a noun.

Common questions

How do you say gram in Malayalam?

Not with any word in this entry. Malayalam uses the English word gram for the unit of weight, and the pulse has its own separate name.

So what does naamam actually mean?

A name, and in grammar a noun. It is also the word for the sectarian mark worn on the forehead by Vaishnavas.
