a despising-curse

Morphological NotesFeminine singular common noun, absolute state.
Rendering RationaleThe noun derives from the root קלל, conveying the act of making someone 'light' or contemptible, which develops into invoking harm through spoken depreciation. "Despising-curse" preserves both the verbal sense of treating lightly and the resulting maledictory force, while reflecting the feminine singular absolute noun form.
