Pressed in Malayalam
ഞെരിയുക (neriyuka) is the verb for being pressed or crushed, a finger caught in a door, cane under a roller. Malayalam marks tense on the verb, so pressed is a past form of this verb rather than a word of its own.

Be crushed, be pressed, be broken.
ബാഗിൽ വെച്ച മാങ്ങ ഞെരിയുകയായിരുന്നു.
baagil vecha maanga neriyukayaayirunnu.
