If there is still time and anything can be done about it: the
zip code at the end of the query I sent earlier today shoud be:
75005 and NOT 75013.
 
Sorry about this!

Hi every one
	A few days ago I asked how was the bird turkey named in different
languages. I received a lot of exaples of IE languages and I thank all of
you who have answered. My question is: What is it called in non IE
languages? and what would the etymology be (if it is available, of
course). I Would be mostly interested in languages from India and Turkey,
just to know how they relate to the bird (although i am pretty sure that
it would be something close to "turkey" in India).
 
	I received many answers the first few days, but if you have
already answered and want to add something, don't be shy...
