Notes

Primarily said of appearance, and bluntly rude when said of a person — not an insult of character but of state, and therefore something one might say of oneself after a hard voyage. The extended sense, of a casting or a join or a translation, is a deliberate borrowing of that rudeness and lands harder in Forgegate than anywhere else, where it is among the harshest things one guildsman may say of another’s work.
