jatağay
/dʒataʁaj/ · plural jatağayla
a sluggard, a lazybones; one who lies around a lot — Tenishev and Suyunchev 1989 marks it as a Karachay word. Guzeev 1996–2005 explains it with mıtır "lazy" and labels it an adjective, but its example uses it as a noun for a lazy husband.
- ol bek jatağaydı — he is a real lazybones
- jatağay kün boyu jatadı — the sluggard lies around all day
- jatağay bolma — don't be a lazybones
- seniça jatağaynı üyü — the home of a sluggard like you

The overlap in the last rows is real, not a mistake: jatağayları can mean "his / her sluggards", "their sluggard", or "their sluggards" — context decides.
