is given as _wagleksun_ [wagle'ks^uN] - do you <br>
have any idea what it means?<br>
<br>
BTW, in German it's 'Truthahn' (maybe from mndd 'droten'- to threaten), <br>
earlier it was called 'indianischer Hahn' (ref. to <st1:place w:st="on">West
Indies</st1:place>) but also <br>
'welscher' or 'tuerkischer Hahn'.<br>
<br>
In Romanian, it is called 'curcan' [kurka'n] and in Hungarian 'pulyka <br>
(kakas)' [puj'kã kã'kãsh]. I don't know why :(<br>
