Manners in Malayalam
No word on this list simply means manners; the nearest is ലോകമര്യാദ (lokamaryaada), which covers accepted manners and customs taken as a whole. It suits talk of social convention rather than individual politeness at table. Several of the other entries describe the opposite, bad manners.
