Recollect in Malayalam
ഓര്മ്മിക്കുക (ormmikkuka) is the ordinary verb for calling something back to mind, and it is what Malayalis use where English says recollect. It is built on the noun for memory, so it reads as putting something into memory or bringing it out again. Five beats, the doubled consonant held.
Remember, recollect.
പഴയ കൂട്ടുകാരെ ഞാന് ഇടയ്ക്ക് ഓര്മ്മിക്കും.
pazhaya koottukaare njaan idaykku ormmikkum.
I remember old friends now and then.
