Tin in Malayalam
None of these entries is the metal tin as a noun. The closest is the verb ഈയംപുശുക (eayampushuka), to coat copper vessels with tin, which contains the old Malayalam name of the metal; the plain noun is a compound of that name with the word for white, and it is not in this list. ഹിമം (himam) means snow and lists tin only as a far fetched extra sense.
Give a coating of tin (to copper vessels).
പണിക്കാരൻ ചെമ്പുപാത്രത്തിന് ഈയംപുശുന്നു.
panikkaaran chempupaathrathinu eayampushunnu.
The workman is coating the copper vessel with tin.
