| has gloss | (noun) an informal debt instrument; representing `I owe you' IOU |
| has gloss | eng: An IOU is usually an informal document acknowledging debt. The term is derived from the opening phrase "I owe unto" and/or the pronunciation of "I owe you". An IOU differs from a promissory note in that an IOU is not a negotiable instrument and does not specify repayment terms such as the time of repayment. IOUs usually specify the debtor, the amount owed, and sometimes the creditor. IOUs may be signed or carry distinguishing marks or designs to ensure authenticity. In some cases, IOUs may be redeemable for a specific product or service rather than a quantity of currency. |

| has gloss | deu: Der Schuldschein ist eine die Verpflichtung des Schuldners bestätigende (feststellende) oder begründende (konstitutive) Urkunde. Der Schuldschein ist das Gegenstück zur Quittung. Er soll dem Gläubiger in der Regel als Nachweis für das Bestehen der Schuld dienen, so z. B. bei einem Schuldschein über ein Darlehen. Der Schuldschein kann aber auch als Legitimation des Inhabers dienen, so z. B. beim Sparbuch. |
