आज का शब्द / آج كا شبد / ਅੱਜ ਦਾ ਸ਼ਬਦ

[muckefuck]

लोथ / لوته / ਲੋਥ loth "corpse" (cf. Sanskrit लोष्टं loṣṭa "lump, clod")

Illustrating its use, a passage from the Adi Granth (p. 280).

ਸੰਤ ਕਾ ਦੋਖੀ ਅੰਤਰ ਤੇ ਥੋਥਾ ॥ ਜਿਉ ਸਾਸ ਬਿਨਾ ਮਿਰਤਕ ਕੀ ਲੋਥਾ ॥
Santkā dokhī antar te thothā. Ji­o sās binā mirtak kī lothā.
The slanderer of the Saint is empty inside / without the breath [of life], like the corpse of a dead man.

Colloquially, the Panjabi term also means "bulky person".

None. The root of the Indo-Aryan word is shared with--at most--only Slavic (cf. Russian луста "slice [of bread]") whereas the root of German Leiche (and English like and lych) is not found outside of Germanic.
