Machine in Malayalam
A machine is a യന്ത്രം (yanthram) in Malayalam, any device with moving parts driven by power. The word is old enough to also mean a mystical diagram, but in modern use it is firmly mechanical. Specific machines get their own compounds, as with ഖനനയന്ത്രം (gananayanthram) for a digging machine.
