Another way to say “debt”

An Indian term for a moneylender or banker — someone who provides credit, loans, and financial services, especially in rural or pre-modern contexts. Historically, sahukars played a central role in Indian village economies, but the term often carries negative connotations of predatory lending and debt traps. In contemporary use it can refer neutrally to informal financiers or critically to loan sharks who exploit borrowers with high interest rates.

A rare, dated Scottish legal and administrative term meaning 'not payable' or 'not able to be advanced as a loan or imprest.' An 'imprest' was a type of advance payment or loan, particularly in government or military contexts, so 'imprestable' described funds or obligations that could not be so disbursed. The word is essentially a historical legal term with no modern usage and is of interest primarily to historians of Scottish law and public finance.
