Malayalam : mōkuka, (?) mōntuka

Malayalam meaning : to drink, sip

Malayalam derivates : mōyikka to give to sip; mōval a gulp

Notes : The root here is *mōg-, as evidenced by Tamil moci < *mōg-i-, and confirmed by external data. Therefore, Malayalam forms like mōyikka should be explained as due to a reinterpretation of the form mōkuka as *mō+k+uka. However, Mal. mōntuka, Tam. māntuka hardly belong here at all.
