Throb in Malayalam
സ്പന്ദനം (spandanam) is the throb you can feel, the pulse of a heart or the vibration of an engine. The noun comes from a root meaning to quiver, and it is at home in a medical note and in a poem about a city's pulse. For a throbbing ache the verb വിങ്ങുക (vinguka) is the one speakers use.
