Senses
1. deceit, treachery — The noun mirmah denoting deceit, fraud, or treachery as a moral failing. All four clusters represent the same semantic concept with variation only in grammatical form (absolute, construct, with prepositions, with conjunctions). Multilingual evidence uniformly converges: eng 'deceit/treachery', spa 'engano/traicion', hin 'chhal/dhokha' (छल/धोखा), arb 'ghishsh/khadi'ah' (غِشّ/خديعة), kor 'sogim' (속임), swa 'udanganyifu/hila'. S114381 uses 'treachery' (eng) and 'hila' (swa) but these are synonymous intensifications of the same deception concept, not a distinct sense. The prepositional forms (b-/l- in S114378) simply add syntactic framing ('with deceit', 'to deceit') without changing the core meaning. 39×
