Line in Malayalam
To talk about a line of people or things, Malayalam offers അണി (ani), a row or array, the word used for a line of soldiers drawn up on parade. It is short, two syllables, and carries a faint sense of things arranged neatly rather than merely standing in a queue.
Line, row, array, line of soldiers, needle point, beauty, ornament, linch pin.
കുട്ടികൾ അണിയായി നിന്നു.
kuttikal aniyaayi ninnu.
The children stood in a row.
