Muhira (moo-he-ra) is a word that means 'fool', implying both ignorance and dim-wittedness. While calling someone a fool may seem not very derogatory, the word Muhira is essentially a scathing insult. It can convey a strong sense of inadequacy, failure even, especially if directed towards one of the Aryas.
Usage:
'Muhira!' he snorted in contempt. His voice was again cold. 'It's too late! No one defies the Gods, Princess. And the Gods show no mercy to those who try. I shall pay for trusting you.'
(Govinda, Ch. 29.)
