𑀛𑀼𑀝𑁆𑀞

• 𑀚𑀼𑀝𑁆𑀞 (juṭṭha)

Uncertain. Turner postulates original long ū and connects this term with Parachi [script needed] (ǰuṭ, “concealed”) and [script needed] (ǰuṭī, “theft”).

Supposing the form with unaspirated j- was original, then possibly from (or at least influenced by) 𑀚𑀼𑀝𑁆𑀞 (juṭṭha, “used, *defiled”), from Sanskrit जुष्ट (juṣṭa, “tasted, enjoyed, used”). The intermediate meaning of "defiled" is attested by Nepali जुठो (juṭho, “defiled, unchaste”) and Marathi झुटा (jhuṭā, “defiled”), the latter of which also shares a spurious aspirated jh-. For the semantic drift, compare the possible development of English bad from Old English bǣdan (“to defile”).

𑀛𑀼𑀝𑁆𑀞 (jhuṭṭha) (Devanagari झुट्ठ, Kannada ಝುಟ್ಠ) (attested in Śaurasenī, Māhārāṣṭrī, Māgadhī)
