Solution in Malayalam

For the solution to a problem Malayalam says പോംവഴി (pomvazhi), a way out, the road that gets you clear of the difficulty. The chemistry sense is a different word altogether: ലായനി (laayani), a liquid in which something has dissolved. English runs the two senses together and Malayalam does not.
