mixallar "guillotine"

mixallar /ˌmɪ.ksaˈlar/ [ˌmɪ.ksɐˈlɐː]

decapitate, behead, to execute by removing the head;

(specifically) guillotine, to do so using a partially automated mechanism;

to oust or otherwise remove the person or people in charge of;

disable, neutralise, incapacitate, to damage so as to render no longer operational

Etymology: 19th century, borrowed via Vascon from Mashick [Mexican] Arabic مِقْصَلَة • miẋ-ala "guillotine", literally "severer", from the verb قَصَلَ • ċas-ala "cut off, sever". Extension to metaphorical heads, either leaders or critical components, is seen from the mid-19th century.

Y regnanç er ec hom mixallant a casc jorn. /i rijˈnants ɛr ɛk ɔm ˌmɪ.ksaˈlant a kax ʒɔrn/ [i ʀɪjˈnants ɛː‿ʀɛ‿gɔm ˌmɪ.ksɐˈlant a kax ʝɔːn] df reign cop.ipf p.px person guillotine-p.prs at each day The regime was beheading people every day.

coricheyar "zhoosh"

coricheyar /ˌko.riˈkjar/ [ˌko.ʀɪˈkjɐː]

(of fabric) to decorate with chintz patterns;

(of a person) to dress in chintz-patterned fabric;

(of a room) to fill with chintz-patterned items of furniture;

(colloquial) zhoosh, spruce, finesse, spice up, to make more appealing or exciting

Etymology: 19C, verbal derivation from noun coricot "chintz (fabric, clothing, furniture)", as though the -ot ending were a diminutive suffix. The noun comes from the city of Coricot [Kozhikode] in Limerick [~Kerala, India], from where the fabric was exported. In metaphorical usage the term is seen from the 1950s.

(mathematics) remainder, the quantity obtained by subtracting a divisor from a dividend as many times as possible without producing a negative result;

fossil, the mineralised remains of an living organism;

throwback, holdover, atavism, an item or person which has qualities of an older form of something;

skeuomorph, a feature copied from an older technology which no longer has a functional role

Etymology: Middle Borlish, reclassicised form of Old Borlish relic after the Latin reliquiae "remains, leftovers, survivors", from relinquō "I leave behind". The term has been used in mathematics since the fifteenth century, in geology since the seventeenth, and in product design since the late nineteenth.

curation, selection, the act of carefully choosing a particular subset of candidates for some purpose;

nurture, upbringing, the environmental influences that contribute to a person's development

Etymology: noun derivative of focar "breed", a Middle Borlish borrowing from contemporary Willem focken "breed (animals)". This descends, possibly via Norse, from Classical German fuccō "I strike, hit; I have sex with". Extension to other winnowing processes is seen from the sixteenth century; in the last senses it is contrasted with engin "nature, innate character".

Y focment d'ollom ny relicquat m'ajoutaç. /i fɔkˈmɛnt dɔˈlɔm ni ˌre.lɪˈkwat ˌma.ʒuˈtats/ [i fʊkˈmɛnt dʊˈlɔm ni ˌʀe.lɪˈkwat ˌma.ʝʊˈtats] df breeding of=relic in-df museum 1s.obl=please I appreciate the museum's relic curation.

salbrut /salˈbrɪt/ [salˈbʀɪt]

saltpetre, potassium nitrate, a chemical compound with the formula KNO₃ found as a white powder with a sharp and bitter taste;

(formerly) any of similar compounds such as sodium nitrate

Etymology: Middle Borlish, borrowed from Scholastic Latin sāl brūtus "dull salt". This is a folk-etymological adaption of Arabic بَارُود • bārūd "saltpetre; gunpowder", which is of uncertain origin. The term brut for a general nitrate was derived from the name of this substance in the eighteenth century.

Y pouvr contien salbrut, carbon e brunstan. /i puvr̩ kɔnˈtjɛn salˈbrɪt | karˈbɔn e brɪnˈstan/ [i ˈpu.vɐ kʊnˈtjɛn sɐlˈbʀɪt | kɐːˈbɔn e bʀɪnˈstan] df powder contain saltpetre | charcoal and sulphur The powder contains saltpetre, charcoal and sulphur.
