"slut, whore, tramp"

A woman of loose morals — promiscuous, shameless, without sexual restraint. While 'jendeh' is the blunt word for 'whore,' 'harzeh' is more about character than profession. A 'harzeh' isn't necessarily a sex worker; she's a woman who violates the modesty code. The distinction matters in a culture where the code is everything.

Used as gossip that destroys reputations: 'Migi harzeh-ast?' — you're saying she's loose? The word functions as social weapon, not just insult.
