NUZZER, or NUZZERANAH; a present or offering from an inferior to a superior. In Hindostan no man ever approaches his superior for the first time on business without an offering of at least a gold or silver rupee in his right hand; which if not taken, it is a mark of disfavour. Nuzzeranah is also used for the sum paid to the government as an acknowledgement for a grant of lands or any public office.
