[Corpora-List] "Tajweed" in English dictionaries and corpora

[M.E.Sciubba]

Actually, in Italian it is spelled "zabaione" and not "zabaglione",
although the pronounciation of the "i" might be most of the times [ʎ] and
not [j], as it *should* be [although I am not particualrly fond of
normativity].
Moreover, given that borrowing of culinary terms in English pass through
French, even though originally Italian, they must have been borrowed not so
recently. Anyway, what I wanted to show is that even in Northern Italy,
were the term supposedly comes from, it is/was called "sambajon", not so
dissimilar to the French "sabayon".
