Worm in Malayalam
എര (era) is the worm used as bait, and by extension prey of any kind, which is why an easy victim is described with it. The ordinary word for a grub in a mango or in the soil is the second half of കൊക്കപ്പുഴു (kokkappuzhu) and is not listed here on its own.
Most common translation
Worm, prey.
അവൻ ചൂണ്ടയിൽ എര കൊരുത്തു.
avan choondayil era koruthu
He hooked the bait on the fishing rod.
