Two ഴs

 ഴ being a native letter of our alphabet, is present in a number of Malayalam words.

But do you know a word that has two ഴs appearing together?

It is ഏഴേഴു = ഏഴ് + ഏഴ് = seven seven, literally = seven times seven = 49.

In theory, we can now construct words with any number of consecutive ഴs in this manner. E.g.

ഏഴേഴേഴു = 7 cubed = 213.

Do you know any other words with two or more ഴs in sequence?

  3. Thanks for the comment!

    Yes, വ്യാഴാഴ്ച has two ഴ's next to each other (At least we can say 1-1/2). പഴമൊഴി has two ഴ's but they are not next to each other.
