hrupuhta-

verb. to fornicate

A neologism for “fornicate” coined by Helge Fauskanger for his NQNT (NQNT), a combination of puhta- “to have sex” with the prefix hru- “evil”, hence = “to have evil/improper sex”. Elsewhere Fauskanger used ᴺQ. úpuhta- for “fornicate” with the prefix ú-, but since that is usually just a negative prefix (hence = “not sex”), I prefer hrupuhta-.
