Purity in Malayalam

Purity is most often ശുദ്ധത (shuddhatha), the abstract noun off the adjective for pure, and it covers everything from the purity of gold to purity of motive. The dh is a breathy single sound, so the word runs as three beats rather than four. Milk packets, assay stamps and sermons all use it.
