Notes

*Krithika said, "Actually a duck sounds like "back back", but in Tamil it is written as 'kuva kuva'."
**Krithika said, "'Chellam' is a word of showing love for kids. 'Nadathal' (nadakkum) refers to walking. The walk of the duck is compared to the walk of a child."
***"Chinna Mani" is the duck's name.
