| | Arabic translation:citadel, stronghold | Explanation:
We have "kut" in Farsi meaning "citadel, stronghold". It is somewhat old, and nowadays "estehkAmAt" and/or "pAyegAh" is used instead.
I read in a book (about Saddam Hussein) that Kuwait, the country, has been derived from the word "kut"; that is to say,"Kuwait" is the diminutive form of "kut". The said book goes on to say that original Kuwaiti people lived in a "kut", whcih was later expanded into Kuwait. |

| Grading comment I know about Kut being the origin of Kuwait but it can't be in that context. I think that stronghold might work for it too as a military term. I'll suggest it and see what happens :) Thanks a lot :)
