During the discussion about "stinking hands", someone (possibly SuStel)
pointed out that {jay'} works quite well. I agree.  I should have said so
then.  

I had suggested {non}.  I retract that because it is too literal of a
translation of "rotten" in place of "stinking".  Naturally, recasting to get
the true meaning is the correct method.  {jay'} covers the invective sense.
Literal translation only got me into deeper trouble.
