English term or phrase: NipCha
Dear Colleagues!

We would like to ask you a favor. We are researching a term for its various shades of meaning. We would appreciate if you could spare two minutes to answer these two questions:

1.) If pronounced, does or do the word/s mean anything in your language. If so, what?
2.) If pronounced, what associations come to your mind in your language or culture? This could be a stream of words, adjectives, preferably images. A paragraph of a few sentences will do.

The term in question is:

"NipCha"

Your reactions are welcome via email or through this system. Unfortunately, we rely on your good will for this, since we won't be able to pay you.
Please don't spend too much time on this.
We are deeply indepted to all who are willing to contribute! Thank you very very much.

Warm regards -

Explanation:
1. In Al Bustani's "Muheet ِAl Muheet" Arabic Dictionary; Al Nibcha or Al Nipcha is a kind of tree longer than the pine, note that P and B have the same spelling and pronunciation in Arabic language, I couldn't find any links to show you that tree.


2. If pronounced, the first association comes to my mind in Arabic culture is to look for somethings in curiousness, somethings like hidden treasures, secrets or x files.
