çekim: çoğul comadrejas
köken: From comadre (“midwife; godmother”) + -eja (diminutive suffix), said to be after its sinuous and nimble (and therefore “feminine”) figure. Compare equivalents in other Romance languages (Italian donnola, Portuguese doninha, Galician doniña, Romanian nevăstuică) but not only (Greek νυφίτσα (nyfítsa), Danish brud, Arabic اِبْن عِرْس (ibn ʕirs)).
çekim: geçmiş undvek · ortaç undviken · ulaç undvikande

synonym of huijata (“to trick, scam, swindle”) · synonym of huimata (“to feel dizzy”)
çekim: geçmiş huiputtanut · şimdiki huiputtaisi · ulaç huiputtava
köken: huipata + -uttaa. The sense “to trick, scam, swindle” may be a blend of huijata + peiputtaa, or perhaps most likely by semantic influence from Swedish svindla; another possibility is inspiration from a dialectal huipata (“to trade (without seeing the product being sold)”) (a variant of huijata and/or huikata influenced by the dialectal onomatopoeic verb huipata (“to toss, to strike”)).
