" kozhi" is the word used in tamil to denote the chicken.and "seval" is the word to denote HEN.

Kozhi and your three words have one similarity.That all the four have the the voiceless "K" as the first letter and havea lateral sound in the middle.

Well the word SEVEL is known in english by COCK and the default meaning of KOZHI is the female chicken ie HEN. Sorry for the inadevertent MISTAKE.

kulang(spoken tamil)--pond(Eng.), Kullam-- Short, ,No meaningful expression with the word 'kulm'

kulang can be a received pronunciation if pronounced fast by a native speaker.
and it means POND in english.

kullam means SHORT.

There is no word as such kulm in tamil.
