It has all the ingredients to be the >ancestor for "ibrik." 'ibri"q sseem to come from a:b ri:z (persian) 1. in turkish it was loaned from aarbic, note spelling with qaf rather than kaf, which is not found with front vowels. 2. a turkish loan in arabic wouldn't have qaf with front vowels either. 3. qaf may have represented late middle persian or early new persian -k (continuation of syriac scribal practice) or -g. perhaps a dimunitive. or, a reflex of -z in some dialect. 4. these seem to have entered arabic before turkish migration into the area. 5. medieval iran was a source of fine metalworks.. 6. the container has more general uses than "soaking" coffee beans. 7. I don't know of any turkic cognate to the iraqi tUrkmen words. they may have come from the same arabic rendering of persian a:b. 8. it is generally a waste of time try to sort out over again loans in turkish from persian (after a certain period) and arabic. lexicographers had taken careful track of that. > >>The words below also sound ARabic. >> >>> 3. rakwa (also raqwa) -- ?? >>> http://www.ineas.org/zannobiya.htm >>> >>> 4. dalla (also dallah and dala) -- ?? >>> http://www.uae.org.ae/Culture/artisans.html >>> >>> Two latter words appear to be the names for a bigger water vessel >>> with a spout, and is not necessarily for making coffee.. >>> >>> I would appreciate information about all these words (origin, >>> meaning, and usage).

Haim (Persian-English Dictionary) does not recognize the word "ibrik" (written as "ibri:q" but pronounced as "ebreegh" in Persian) as Persian and dubs it Arabic. Find my analysis in this thread (July, 18) (ib-in-mek and ib-it-mek). p.s. Haim does mention "pengan" as a root for "finjan", but without givining its (possible) meaning. If "pinga:n" (or "pengan") are not explained, it has no value, at least as far as etymology is concerned.

I think there is a Sumerian word absu (bottom water). At first I thought it was like alt=bottom, su=water as in Turkic. But Sumerian adjectives follow the noun as in lu-gal lu=man, gal=high,great, thus lugal=king. (see below on this). So absu must be ab=water, su=bottom. And ibrig (ib=water),and abdest (ab=water) seem like they are both from Sumerian ab. NOw for the clincher, cibit=to wet something, and cibi=wet can be found in Karachay-Balkar. Since initical c in KB corresponds to Turkish y, and since many words that originally had c or y initially have lost them, ib can easily be also Turkic, but the root must go back to Sumerian. -- Sincerely, M.

Turkic ak (to flow), Hittite eku (to drink), Turkic ich (to drink), Turkic ash (food), Turkic ach (hungry), etc etc. But the earliest in the records is Sumerian. No doubt about it. > persian a:b is indo-european (sans. apa, latin aqua). > PIE *akwa is regarded by ruhlen to go to proto-world.

"handwater", i.e. > ablution). the word is persian! I pointed out where it came from. If you ignore Sumerian, then why not ignore Iranian ab and go with Turkic cibi/yibi? What is the meaning of Iranian suffix -rik? On the other hand, look at how words are formed in Turkic: Karachay-Balkar has cum-dur-uk (fist) from cum (to close). This in Oguz-Turkmen should have been yum-dur-uk. But via assimilation instead we have yudruk and yumruk. There is a similar formation from karin-dash (karin=abdomen,womb). The -dash suffix is used in yoldash (road-mates), arkadash (sharing the same back ie. friend), adash (sharing the same name). Anyway everyone knows the -dash suffix. karindash (womb-mates, i.e. siblings) has become karnash, and kardash. Now look at the root from cibi/yibi (to get wet); cibi-tir-ik (just like yumduruk). It has become yibrik> ibrik, as Turkic as the Osmanli Bank. It is used to pour water to wash up. It looks as Turkish as kardash/karnash and yumruk/yudruk. I even said it was Arabic at first, but then I realized it was not. Chalk up another Turkic word borrowed into Farsi and passed off as native. Are you keeping count? -- Sincerely, M.

Since the earliest form goes back as far as Sumerian they must all be from Sumerian. Meanwhile.... I stick to my derivation. Here it is again. cibi/yibi is Turkic for "get wet". yum-dur-uk > yumruk (Turkish) yibi-dir-ik > yibrik > ibrik (Turkish) kar-in-dash > kardash (Turkish) The form yudruk can be found. The form karnash exists. And the form cumduruk also is attested. Cibi exist, and also exists in the causative 'cibit'. If I am not mistaken there is something like 'jibi' even in Eskimo-Aleut. Yumduruk/yudruk/yumruk was discussed about a year ago on Altainet also and the form cracked some problem which I can't recall now.

That is unfortunate that you say that because every linguist knows or should know that it is indeed most relevant because that is what historical linguistics is about.

Spelling in the Redhouse dictionary has no q and cannot have it either because there is no q in Turkish. 2. That argument is not an argument. There are Turkic speakers who use a q instead of a k as a matter of dialect. The Istanbul city-slicker dialect might not have it but Turkish had it, and some still have it. Turkic has k, q, x, h, gh, etc. > z ~ k is internal to iranian (some medieval dialect during the arab > occupation of iran, prior to the establishemnt of new persian as a > literary medium). ri:z is from the present stem of ri:*kh*tan, ri:q a > rendering from the past stem. such alterations are common in iranian > and beween iranian languages (from another thread there was anda:z - > present stem, anda:*kh* past stem.

If you think that experts from Altainet are required, you should join the list and ask them. You can get a free email account from hotmail.com and join the list.

In short, Rock'n Roll is lascivious, blasphemous, arrogant and downright sleazy. It is fantastic, escapist. Any rock that doesn't fit the above description is not Rock'n Roll. It is merely "rock music."

YOu can look at a dictionary and say that a word is not there. That is not proof that it did not exist in the language. The dictionary could be bad. You can prove that a word exists in a language (if it is in the dictionary) but you cannot prove that it is not (if it is not in the dictionary)> Finally, you are ignoring the obvious. The word fits Turkic etymology much better than what you claim, and thus is evidence of prehistoric borrowing. That is what linguistic paleontology is about. Apparently you are not paying attention to what goes on in this newsgroup (sci.lang). It is thru such reconstructions (many of them even worse) the linguists provide ammunition to archaeologists and historians so that they can write and rewrite their favorite version of (pre)history. -- Sincerely, M.

The Arabs found the coffee tree growing wherever it was growing (I did my research on this about 12 years ago) - East Africa I am pretty sure - and invented coffee. The word for coffee in Arabic is "qahwah". Remember that the Turks of the Ottoman Empire ruled the Arab world from the 14th or 13th century of the common era until the end of World War I. Turks cannot pronounce that 'q', and they tend to pronounce a "w" as a "v". Qahwah thus became kahveh. This became café or caffé in various European languages, eventually becoming Coffee in English. The Turks got "Turkish" coffee from the Arabs. When I make this coffee, I usually call it Arabic coffee (and then say "Turkish" so Westerners know what I mean.) Since my grandfather fought the Turks on the barricades outside of Sidon, Lebanon, at the fall of the Ottoman empire (1918), I feel it's my post-colonialist duty to call this coffee by the name of its inventors, not its conquerors!

Some more trivia: It started being called "Greek coffee" after the 1955 pogrom against Greeks in Constantinople. So people over 50 still call it "tourkikos". Turkish (and Greek?) coffee is definitely different from the one brewed south of Urfa. It's roasted less, ground finer, boiled less (pull out as soon as it starts to boil) and never includes other flavors like cardamom etc. So let's not confuse it with Arabic coffee. Also, popular (non-TV, non-school) Greek currently uses the word "dzezves" or "dzozves"(Northern Islands) -shunned by officialdom (who perhaps believes that mpriki is of Greek origin?). Other important implements: Stakhtokouti. Bronze container, approx. 3' x 2' x 2', with a lower level for charcoal under abundant ashes, upon which you can place up to 3 brikia, and an upper compartment for heating water. Still in use in the "real" Greek coffee-house. Tepsi (T) /tapsi - diskos (G): circular tray hanging from 3 or 4 arches. The good waiter swings it without spilling.

It seems more likely that the natives served the visiting Arabs coffee, and when they asked about it, the natives explained how they made it, showed them the plant, and told them what it was called. And "qahwah" was as close to the native name (whatever it was) as the Arabs could pronounce. And if that is the case, saying the Arabs invented coffee is like saying the Spanish invented chocolate, or the English invented tea. Incidentally, the word "tobacco" is possibly of Arabic origin too. But the Arabs didn't invent tobacco. //P.

So what...? I'm sure you will be willing to apply this requirement from now on regarding words borrowed into Turkish from other languages also, right...? For example, no Arabic word could have been borrowed into Turkish until Arab settlements in and around Turkish lands...? Anyway, enough time wasted with you; back to Tisinli's question. There is the verb "pineklemek" in Turkish, which means "sitting around lazily, in a half-asleep state" ("uyuklar gibi oturmak") and which is used to my knowledge insinuating "like chickens" (similar to "tuneklemek"??). I suppose it could describe how newly hatched "chicks" sit/stand around in a "pin"...? Also, this made me curious about the "pin-" in words like "pinti and pinpirik". Does anyone know if they are native to Turkish and what the "pin-" in them may mean...?

Looks like we've got some lexical drift going on in the country. If so many people agree it's one thing, and one borrower thinks it's the thing next to it, it's an open and shot case. -I.

Well Isadora, although I am not particularly fluent in Arabic, I remember my Lebanese aunties asking me to drink a "finjan 'ahweh" and they did not mean I should drink the whole pot. The cup was the finjan, and after drinking, you read the grounds - in the bottom of your individual finjan, not the pot. I do not remember what you call the long handled pot you boil the coffee in - I'll have to ask my Dad.
