Found a new word for light

Apart from velicham and vettam I found another malayalam word for light

In old tamil ilangu meant shine, bright etc and it is cognitive of malayalam ലങ്കുക(languga) meaning same and also old tamil uses ilakkam for light, brightness etc and these words are from proto Dravidian root *el/il means light, brightness as like *oli and it's also seen in telugu/kannada enda meaning daylight/sunlight, so ilakkam meaning light became probably lakkam in malayalam which will be a new word for light in malayalam and I know lakkam means issue/version in malayalam but eventhough I don't agree linguistics connect it to sanskrit lakshya but here it is from a clear stated dravidian root *el/il so lakkam meaning light and meaning mark/issues maybe have different etymologies or maybe they are counterpart words of same etymologies and lakkam meaning issue/mark/numbers got mistaked as sanskrit loanword

REFORMING MALAYALAM

Why don't we reform malayalam script and avoid the pronouncation mistakes we make in other languages like pronuncing hunting as hunding or deepika as deebiga or aparna as abarna etc

Let's start to write malayalam script as like telugu and kannada script(written as like how it is pronounced) except sanskrit words

For eg a sentance like: "രാമു കാലതെ പാഡത്ത് ഒള്ള പറമ്പ് ലേകി കളികാൻ പോയി നേരം ഒരുബാഡ് വൈഗി അപ്പോൾ രാമു കഡേ ല് നിന്ന് അമ്മ പറഞ്ഞ പഞ്ചസാര വാങി നേരെ വീട ലേകി പോയി"

We use ങ്ക, ഞ്ച, ണ്ട, ന്താ, oപ for nka, ncha, nta, nta and mpa and oഗ, ഞ്ജ, ണ്ഡ, ന്ദ, മ്പ for nga, nja, nda, nda and mba

Like ദാoപത്യം, തoഗം, അഞ്ജ്, മുന്ദിരി, ചൂണ്ഡ
