Tightpulling in Malayalam
The headword tightpulling is an old literal gloss rather than normal English, and the Malayalam word behind it, ആഗ്രഹം (aagraham), is used today for desire, wish or intense longing. In a sentence treat it as wanting something badly, not as pulling anything tight. It opens with a long vowel and keeps the stress there.
Tightpulling, grasping, desire, wish, intense longing.
എന്റെ ആഗ്രഹം നടന്നു.
ente aagraham nadannu.
My wish came true.
