Yes, I know things are dire when you're getting your laughs from dictionaries. But I have a supervision with a lexicographer each week, and I'm coming to realise just how depressing a job it is. The following is about the height of bitchy fun you can manage on the way:

KHUJHRAHA: H khujhrAHA khujhraha [prob. khujhra=khujra =khujla, rt. of khujlana, q.v.+ aha = S. ak+kH], adj. & s.m. Stingy, niggardly, miserly, sordid; -- a niggard, miser (syn. kripan; ka njus; Shakespear's Dictionary has `stringy' instead of `stingy, -- a typographical error, no doubt; Forles copies `stringy,' and adds `ropy,' in which he is followed by Bate!).
