Dear Dinesh ji,
Fabulous image and excellent efforts.
The corrections are below:
Malayalam: പഴഞാവൽ pazhanjaaval (പഴ pazha means പഴം pazham ie. fruit and പയ paya is vocabulary of kids), തോൽഞാവൽ tholnjaaval (തോൽ thol means skin or bark), വെള്ളഞാറ vellanjara, വെൺഞാറ vennjara (വെള്ള vella and വെൺ ven means whitish colour.

Regards, Sam.

Thanks very much, Sam ji, for the appreciation, for helping with, and for validating the Malayalam names / English spellings.

So finally the compiled list Malayalam names are as follows:
പഴഞാവൽ pazhanjaaval, തോൽഞാവൽ tholnjaaval, വെള്ളഞാറ vellanjara, വെൺഞാറ vennjara

I am sure you have taken good care of English spellings, yet please check whether any vowel is required in tholnjaaval ... I mean, would it be rather tholinjaaval ?

Thank you once again.

Regards.
Dinesh
