Husk in Malayalam
The husk or shell around a fruit or seed is തോട് (thod), with a very short final sound. The same word also means a small canal, so context separates the two at once.
Most common translation
Small canal, brook, husk of fruits, shell.
തോട്ടിൽ ധാരാളം മീനുകൾ ഉണ്ട്.
thottil dharalam meenukal undu.
There are many fish in the stream.
