Quarreller in Malayalam
A quarreller is വഴക്കാളി (vazhakkaali), built from the noun for a quarrel plus the agent ending that Malayalam loves for naming characters. The zh is the curled back retroflex sound, and the final aali is drawn out. It is a familiar insult in a house or an office, not a formal term.
Most common translation
