Common patterns
- huju qallıq — damn it!, may it be left deserted (a curse formula, said of a thing or person; often paired with бош къаллыкъ)1 · cursed, damned, wretched (said of a hated or troublesome thing, person, or event)
The future participle of къалыргъа turns the adjective into a curse: literally “(one) who will be left ownerless”. The optative forms худжу къалсын and худжу къалгъын carry the same curse.
