Soiled in Malayalam

Soiled is മുഷിഞ്ഞ (mushinja), the participle for dirty and shabby, used of clothes, of paper and of a mood, since the same word slides into bored and fed up. That double life is very Malayalam: a soiled shirt and a soiled temper share a word. Three syllables, nasal in the middle.
