কশুবীkasubi0kəsubìHin.कसबीor Ban.কসবীThe earliest use of the word কশুবী (prostitute) in Manipuri has yet to be ascertained. It cannot, however, be taken as a mere coincidence that the Manipuri word কশুবী has the same meaning and the same corresponding sounds with the Hindi and Bengali words for this, except for one vowel phoneme /u/. There seems to be more than mere coinsidence here. Hindi has कसबी and Bengali has কসবী. The variation lies only in the /u/ following /s/. It is to be borne in mind that the Bengalis pronounce কসবী as /kosobì/ and if the word was taken by the Meiteis from the Bengali mouth, then the sound affinity has a clearer link. Probably the word slipped out of the Hindi-speaking army camps that quite a substantial number of Manipuri women frequented, and it found its way into the common speech of the people. Alternatively, if the word's use in Manipuri originated soon after the merger but before the major military deployment in the state, it must have made its way out of the Hindu administrators' rooms where Meitei women made frequest visits to. Alternatively yet again, if the word's adoption is older than even the latter case, the word must have stemmed from inside the rooms of the Hindu priests in the Meitei king's palace.fam.n1মশাগি পুন্সি মহিং অমা ওইনা হকচাংথোংগি নুংঙাইবা থিবদগি নত্রগা মমল ওইনা শেলনচিংবা লৌনবা মশাগি হকচাংবু অকক্নবা মীশক নাইদনা নূপা কয়াদা পীথোকপা নূপীconsidered derogatorya woman who is devoted, or (usually) who offers her body to indiscriminate sexual intercourse, esp. for hire; a common harlot.prostitute, harlot, slut, bitchSynonymsওক্তবীবেশালমচৎ নাইদবীRelated withলমচৎ নাইদবা2নূপীদা শাউদুনা চৈবদা শীজিন্নবা ৱাহৈconsidered derogatoryan offensive word for a woman said when you are angrybitchRelated withকশুবা 13কোইনদবা নূপী মশেল মরক্তা ফাগি ওইনা ঙাঙনা চৈনবদা শীজিন্নবা ৱাহৈa harmless form of addressing often used mostly comically among women who are close friendsbitchRelated withকশুবা 1কশুবী খনবাunspec. comp. formv
