Trickle in Malayalam
To trickle is ഊറുക (ooruka), oo-ru-ka, with a long first vowel. It is the verb for water seeping out drop by drop, from a cracked pot, a damp wall or a slow spring, and Malayalam also uses it for news leaking out slowly. Quiet, unhurried movement is the whole of its meaning.
Most common translation
