zzz Other zzz term

Gueek BkeadFay

zzz Other zzz to English Other Religion Nativity scene
Gueek BkeadFay
this was on a holiday decoration of the nativity scene

This was posted on the English language (monolingual) [Non-PRO] Religion and no one gave an answer.

I have a hunch that it is Turkish - thus posting it in this pair - out of curiosity


One person commented:
it remembers me "an ornament put among green gross/ leaves as a signal of spring" but I am not sure at all.

The only two google references found so far

Gueek Bkead Fay.
What a day. We had christmas at the house, and we saw Return of the King. I've got to say something. It's rare that a movie has a sequel that is better than the first.

Very Frustrating Xola - great idea sending the e-mail. With which one of the two references above did you manage to get into contact. The one at < www.flickr.com > actually shows a photo of a Christams Decoration with the term. I had thought of sending an e-mail to both - but hadn't figured out how to do it. I wonder if they are friends of each other.

Note from Fareedeh Dear airmailrpl
I think one point should be explained about your question
"Gueek BkeadFay " which posted first in Turkish to English
pair and then its pair changed to English monolingual. My
mother tongue language is Turki but it is different from
Turkish. It is something between Turkish (the language
spoken in Turkey country) and Azerbaijani (the language
spoken in some part of former Russia now called
Azerbaijan). As well as my language is an only oral
language, it means that I can not read or write it, I can
only talk in Turki. But as a whole I think Xola and other
Turkish answerers are right. I had seen Fay means an
ornament in a web- based Turkish- English dictionary but in
this case I accept Xola's idea, may be it had been a
mistake.

With best regards Fareedeh Ghassemi Iran, Tehran
