Leafless in Malayalam

Leafless comes out in Malayalam as അപര്‍ണ്ണ (aparnna), a form built from a negative prefix joined to the word for leaf. It describes a tree or a branch stripped of its foliage, and the same form is familiar across Kerala as a personal name. Everyday speech usually says that a tree has no leaves, so aparnna stays mostly in writing.
