2006 SCLC: Announcement and Call for Papers

[shokooh Ingham]

Dear Willem
It sounds like Turkish.  They do the same with kalpak
'hat' which sounds like qalpaq,a as in kara kalpak
'black hats'.  When it is written in the Arabic script
they often use the Arabic letter qaf for it.  Thanks
for pasing it on
Yours
