I never heard such thing[edit]

No google hits, Closer comes "vezin " which is sense 1st "balance?" archaic 2nd "rhyme" still heard. ( has not much to do with important; weighty; not trifling; leaving no room for play) [1]https://sozluk.gov.tr Flāvidus (talk) 23:06, 5 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

Some dictionaries have veznin. Some other dictionaries have vezmin. I could find vezmin on Google Books: vezmin bir ahenkte . (Nurali Qobul's Unutulan Sahiller 1996).--159.146.71.191 02:31, 15 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

Alleged to be a Turkish adjective meaning “weighty” or “serious”. Tagged by Flāvidus but not listed.  --Lambiam 18:05, 6 January 2023 (UTC)Reply

Luggat lists Ottoman Turkish وزن (vezn),[2] a loan from Arabic meaning “something heavy”. Apart from the fact that this is not modern Turkish, I don't think there is a denominal suffix -in for forming an adjective.  --Lambiam 18:17, 6 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
‌ Ottoman وزن (vezn) became modern vezin (meter, prosody). Veznin is its genitive form. I see no evidence of an adjective. Vox Sciurorum (talk) 10:13, 9 January 2023 (UTC)Reply
