Transfer in Malayalam

സ്ഥലംമാറ്റം (sthalammaattam) is the transfer every government employee in Kerala talks about, a posting moved from one place to another, literally a change of place. For handing a thing over to someone, the verb കൈമാറുക (kaimaaruka) is the one to use. The opening cluster and the doubled consonants make it a mouthful.
