Shooting in Malayalam
The entry that works cleanly is അങ്കുരണം (ankuranam), shooting in the plant sense, sprouting. Gunfire is not covered here, and പ്രഹരം (praharam) comes nearest with archery and the shooting of an arrow, though its first meaning is a watch of three hours.
Shooting, sprouting.
വിത്തിന്റെ അങ്കുരണം രണ്ടു ദിവസം കൊണ്ട് കഴിഞ്ഞു.
witthinte ankuranam randu divasam kondu kazhinju.
The seed's sprouting was over in two days.
All Malayalam words for “shooting”
- അങ്കുരണം (ankuranam) — Shooting, sprouting.
- തെറ്റല് (thettal) — Committing mistakes, slipping, shooting (an arrow etc.).
- തെറ്റ് (thett) — Error, mistake, fault, miscalculation, shooting with a catapult, slipping.
- പ്രഹരം (praharam) — A period of three hours, shooting with an arrow, archery.
thettal and thett are built on the word for a mistake and reach shooting only through the idea of letting an arrow or a catapult slip, so neither translates a shooting in the news sense.
