What does QURSH mean in Scrabble?
noun
technical
A monetary unit of Saudi Arabia, equal to one twentieth of a riyal.
The qursh functions like a cent or a penny, the small coin used for amounts smaller than a full riyal, and older transliterations of the same Arabic word appear in English as girsh, gursh or qurush. Because qursh names a specific foreign currency unit, it turns up mainly in reference works and older travel writing about Saudi Arabia rather than in everyday conversation.
