<br>The Hebrew name for the bird we call "turkey" is </font>תרנגול הודו</font><font><font> (<i>tarnegol hodu</i> "India fowl"), and in Arabic it's</font></font><font><span dir="auto"> دجاج رومي</span></font><font><font> </font></font><font><font>(<i>dajaj rūmī</i> "Roman fowl," "Rome" originally being the name of the Byzantine Empire, today's Turkey).<br>
<br>Interestingly, in Pennsylvania German the name is </font></font><i>Welschhinkel</i> <font><font> ("Welsh/Romance chicken").<br>
<br>I am particularly fond of the Scots name: </font></font><i>bubbly-jock</i>.<br><font><font><br>Regards,<br>Reinhard/Ron<br>Seattle, USA</font><br></font></div></div></div><font><br></font><font><span></span></font></div>
