Story-writer in Malayalam

This entry gives two words at once, കഥാകാരന്‍, കഥാകൃത്ത് (kathaakaarankathaa), and both name a writer of stories. The first is the word for story plus the ending for a doer, so it reads as story maker; the second is the more formal of the pair. Book jackets and literary pages use them interchangeably.

Most common translation

കഥാകാരന്‍, കഥാകൃത്ത് (kathaakaarankathaa)

Dictionary entry

The dictionary runs the two headwords together in its transliteration, which is why it looks longer than either word spoken aloud.
