peer agreement (net): +10| ΛOYKOYMIA Turkish delight Explanation: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Turkish_Delight -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 13 mins (2007-07-05 13:03:32 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- See the link, gee1. Or do you need the meaning of the word lukumi? -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 14 mins (2007-07-05 13:04:38 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- The Turkish word lokum may come from لقوم lukuum, the Arabic plural of لقمة luqma(t) 'morsel' or 'mouthful', which is also the origin of lokma.[3] Alternatively, it may be a corruption of Arabic راحة الحلقم rahat al-hulkum 'contentment of the throat'.[4] The hybrid form rahat lokum is also found.[5]. In Libya, for example, it is known as حلقوم ḥalgūm. In English, it was formerly called "lumps of delight". |
