TMD words for sickness!

 Funny , is it not that we even developed words to describe our illness in Thanjavur Marathi. However, most pain was described as Body part + pain but some words were used for other ailments. Here are a few....

Aang Bharni.... Not Well

Phadasa..... Cold

Khonkla..... Cough

Ghasa Dukna..... Throat Pain

Aang sool... Body Ache

Jaera.... Fever

Modla ..... Broken

Used as in Haath modla, Payen Modla.... Broken Hand and Broken Leg etc.

Sool.... Pain

Sool is again used as Haath sool, Paaht Sool... Hand pain, Back Pain
 
 Duktha ... Is pain

 Laagla.... Got hurt. ( I think this word was used for want of any better word)
 
Chira.... Cut

Chrun Gele aahe... Got a Cut

Ghaav...... Wound

Ghaav Jhala Aahe.....  Has got Wounded
 
 Ragath.... Blood

 Khapli.....Crust on Wounds

Poon.....Pus

Phod..... Boil

Nank Khurd.... An ingrown nail
