Tobacco in Malayalam
The general noun for tobacco, a compound meaning smoke leaf, is missing from this list. ചുക്ക (chukka) names one kind of tobacco used in beedis, though in ordinary Malayalam the same word means dried ginger. പുകവലിക്കുക (pukavalikkuka) is the verb for smoking tobacco, and the smoke element in it is the one the tobacco noun also uses.
A kind of tobacco used in 'beed', vinegar, dregs.
എണ്ണയുടെ അടിയിൽ ചുക്ക അടിഞ്ഞിരുന്നു.
ennayude adiyil chukka adinjirunnu.
Dregs had settled at the bottom of the oil.
