sulla

== English == === Alternative forms === sullah === Etymology 1 === Borrowed from Punjabi ਸੁੱਲਾ (sullā, “Muslim (derogatory)”). This word is likely a mispronunciation (or perhaps a misspelling in Gurmukhi script) of Punjabi ਮੁੱਲਾ (mullā, “mullah, Islamic religious leader”), derived from Classical Persian ملا (mullā), ultimately from Arabic مُلَّا (mullā). It may also be a contraction of Punjabi ਮੁਸਲਮਾਨ (muslamān, “Muslim”) or Punjabi ਮੁਸਲਾ (muslā, “"carpet kisser", another derogatory term for Muslims, but also refers to a mat or carpet used for Muslim prayers”). ==== Noun ==== sulla (plural sullas or sulleh) (South Asia, religious slur, ethnic slur, offensive) A Muslim man; especially one from Pakistan. ===== Usage notes ===== In the modern day, the term is most often used by Sikhs on social media. This usage is rooted in long-standing historical animosity between Sikhs and Muslims in South Asia. The term is used infrequently by Hindutva supremacists, as it is not native to Hindi. ===== Synonyms ===== mulla (rare) musalla (very rare) ==== See also ==== sulli, mulli, musalli (equivalent term for Muslim women) sikhra, sikhrey (from sikra, sikrey, lit. lice-ridden one(s); an anti-Sikh slur used by Pakistanis, particularly Mirpuris, in reference to Sikhs' long unshaven hair) ==== References ==== “sulla”, in OneLook Dictionary Search. === Etymology 2 === From genus name Sulla ==== Noun ==== sulla (plural sullas) Any of species of genus Sulla (syn. Hedysarum). ==== References ==== “sulla”, in OneLook Dictionary Search.

Cognate with English swill. Compare also Old Norse svalla (“to drink heavily, swill”). === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈsʏtla/ Rhymes: -ʏtla === Verb === sulla (weak verb, third-person singular past indicative sullaði, supine sullað) to splash around, to splash about to spill ==== Usage notes ==== The verb sulla and sulla saman (“to mix together”) denote a hint of apathy, carelessness or casualness of the doer's actions. This verb may be found childish. In the sense of "spilling" the preposition á (“on”) may be added to give information as to where one spilled something: Ég sullaði mjólk á gólfið. I spilled milk on the floor. ==== Conjugation ==== ==== Derived terms ==== sulla á (“to spill on”) sulla saman (“to mix something”) ==== Related terms ==== sull == Italian == === Etymology 1 === From Spanish zulla, from Arabic سُلَّة (sulla). ==== Noun ==== sulla f (plural sulle) plant of the genus Sulla, particularly Sulla coronaria. === Etymology 2 === ==== Contraction ==== sulla contraction of su la; on the == Maltese == === Pronunciation === IPA(key): /ˈsul.la/ Rhymes: -ulla === Noun === sulla f (plural silel) alternative form of silla: French honeysuckle (Hedysarum coronarium) == Northern Sami == === Etymology === From Proto-Samic *sulë. === Pronunciation === (Kautokeino) IPA(key): /ˈsulla/ === Noun === sulla approximation, resemblance (of something) estimate ==== Inflection ==== ==== Derived terms ==== sullii ==== Further reading ==== Eino Koponen, Klaas Ruppel, Kirsti Aapala, editors (2002–2008), Álgu database: Etymological database of the Saami languages‎[1], Helsinki: Research Institute for the Languages of Finland == Votic == === Alternative forms === sulatõ === Etymology === From Proto-Finnic *suladak. === Pronunciation === (Luutsa, Liivčülä) IPA(key): /ˈsulɑː/, [ˈsuɫːɑ] (Jõgõperä) IPA(key): /ˈsulɑː/, [ˈsuɫːɑ] (Central Votic) IPA(key): /ˈsulɑː/, [ˈsuɫɑː] ~ [ˈsuɫˑɑː] Rhymes: -ulɑː Hyphenation: sul‧la === Verb === sulla (intransitive) to melt, thaw (intransitive) to dissolve ==== Inflection ==== === References === Hallap, V.; Adler, E.; Grünberg, S.; Leppik, M.
