▪ from Tu çürük ‘rotten’ – Hava1899, BadawiHinds1986, Rolland2014. – Attestation in Hava1899 suggests that the word was in use (in the Levant) mostly in connection with false money, as opposed to ‘sound’ (ṣāġ < Tu sağ) coins. Usage in modEgAr covers ‘unfitness’ with regard to military service, but also ‘counterfeit’ money and ‘unsound’ cars.
