Arabic term or phrase: عدم استعمال الكوركت والتعديلات
Here is another term that seems unique to Yemen... What is الكوركت in Yemen's banking/business context? Here is the sentence:

تسجيل دفاتر الشيكات المنصرفة وعدم استخدام الكوركت والتعديلات في السجل

So that would be: Recording the checkbooks distributed and not using the ???? الكوركت and the changes/amendments in the register... Thanks if you have any inkling as to what this term could mean...
