Snapping in Malayalam
Snapping is ഞൊടി (nodi), the noun for the snap of the fingers and the small sharp sound it makes. Malayalam has no separate gerund, so this noun covers both the act and the sound. It doubles as the word for a moment.

Snap of the fingers or the sound produced by snapping, a moment.
ഒരു ഞൊടി കൊണ്ട് അവന് ഓടി മറഞ്ഞു.
oru nodi kondu avan odi maranju.
