Sneak in Malayalam
To sneak is പമ്മുക (pammuka), which describes moving while making yourself small, hiding and cringing out of sight. It fits a thief slipping along a wall and a child avoiding a scolding. Three syllables, with the doubled m giving it a muffled sound.
Most common translation
Hide, sneak, cringe, crouch.
പമ്മുകയാണ് ആ പൂച്ചയുടെ സ്വഭാവം.

All Malayalam words for “sneak”
- പമ്മുക (pammuka) — Hide, sneak, cringe, crouch.
- വലിയുക (valiyuka) — Become tight, lengthen, drag, become dry; (fig.) sneak, evade, escape.
വലിയുക (valiyuka) means sneaking only in a figurative stretch; its literal senses are tightening, lengthening and dragging, so it is not the word for creeping about.
