Through in Malayalam
Malayalam has no single word for through. The idea rides on case endings attached to the noun, or on a verb that already contains the movement, so going through a gap is said with a verb like നുഴയുക (nuzhayuka), to squeeze through a crevice. Nothing in this list works as a general purpose preposition.
Squeeze in through a crevice or small hole, infiltrate.
പൂച്ച വേലിക്കിടയിലൂടെ നുഴഞ്ഞു കയറി.
poocha velikkidayiloode nuzhanju kayari.
The cat squeezed in through the fence.
