All Malayalam words for “insight”

ഉള്‍ക്കാഴ്ച (ulkkaazhcha) is the ordinary word for insight today. അകക്കണ്ണ് (akakkannu) is the more poetic inner eye, അന്തര്‍വീക്ഷണം (antharveekshanam) and അന്തരവലോകനം (antharavalokanam) are formal terms closer to introspection, and പ്രതീതി (pratheethi) is really about impression or appearance.
