Prowl in Malayalam

Malayalam describes prowling as ഇര തേടുക (ira theduka), literally going about in search of prey. It is a two-word phrase, used of a tiger on the move at night as readily as of a person circling with bad intentions.

Dictionary entry

ഇര തേടുക (ira theduka) keeps its hunting image, so it suits an animal on the hunt or a figurative predator, but not somebody merely wandering about.
