"dumbass / little idiot"

The offspring of a donkey — inheriting the stupidity, stubbornness, and lowliness of the animal. Less severe than dog or pig insults because donkeys, while stupid, aren't religiously impure. It's the insult you use when 'khar' alone isn't enough but you don't want to escalate to heavier words.
