Thanks again.

Can also be overinterpretation of some figurative uses of the Arabisms غَرّ (ḡarr, “deceiving, cajoling, coaxing”), like this dance is kinda whorish at least if one approaches it with US defaultism. Somebody really felt a need to add a cognate for English whore and Latin carus I say. Fay Freak (talk) 20:44, 30 October 2023 (UTC)
