Tumble in Malayalam
To tumble is മറിയുക (mariyuka), ma-ri-yu-ka, the verb for going over, turning upside down and falling. The same word does duty for a cart overturning and for a person changing his opinions, which is a nice piece of Malayalam logic. Common in speech.
Most common translation

Dictionary entry
- മറിയുക (mariyuka) — Tumble down, go upside down, turn over, fall down, change one's views.
It describes the turning-over itself, so a plain fall from a height is better served by the ordinary verb for falling than by മറിയുക (mariyuka).
