| lexeme | mülâyim | |
| meaning 1 | soft (adj.) | mülayım çıkmak normal stool, no constipation. Lit. to go out smoothly, softly. (medical) |
| direction | — | |
| meaning 2 | tender, mild, soft-tempered | Böylece baban gerçek cesur kimliğini saklamak için mülayim davrandığını düşünecek. This way, your dad will realize you're acting mild-mannered to hide your true brave identity. |
| reference | Baskakov 1977: 652 glosbe.com | |
| comment | The meaning is overhelmingly "tender, soft-tempered" and not soft in physical terms, however there is a medical use of the term referring to bowels and stool. However, it is not clear whether the meaning "soft" is the original one. |
