I don't know if the following are relevant to the symptoms of cholera:

1. mod.avi, mod.ave small pimple on the face (Kannad.a)
2.mor.s- (mor.y-) to have foot-and-mouth disease (Toda). mut.an:ki
bed-ridden person (Tamil); mut.akkam being crippled by paralysis
(Tamil); mud.ucu, mud.u~cu to contract, shrivel (Telugu)
