lassi

Delicious drink from India, similar to a milkshake but made with yogurt. Usually served salted or sweet with mango flavor and/or rose water. Personally I enjoy lassi with mango AND rose water flavors. Lassi is great to drink on a hot day and/or when you're eating really spicy foods like lamb vindaloo.

Mmm-mmmmm! This rose water lassi is the shit!

Daghestan

A part of Russia, located in the Caucasus Mountains north of Azerbaijan, that along with its neighbor Chechnya, has become another hellhole because of al-Qaeda. Daghestan is home to small tribes of people speaking over thirty languages, some Caucasic (e.g. Avar, Lak, Rutul, Bezhta, Dido, Lezgin, Tsakhur etc.), Turkic (e.g. Noghai and Kumyk), Semitic (e.g. Assyrian, Hebrew and Arabic), Indo-European (e.g. Russian, Armenian, Greek etc.), and even Tungusic (e.g. Kalmyk, a close relative to Mongolian).

The Dept. of the State has issued travelers' advisories for people who want to visit Daghestan from Azerbaijan: don't even think about it. The borders are closed!

yagi

Sloppy writing scratched out by using hash marks. Looks like the shape of a yagi antenna, a type of directional radio and TV antenna with dipoles running parallel to and in the plane of the conductor.

What's with this yagi all over the page? You'll have to do this report all over again. It's sloppy!

That's some strange mott they're speaking. It sounds like some weird dialect of Kurdish!

Tatik yev Papik

Popular name in Armenian ("Grandma and Grandpa") for the "Menk Yenk Mer Sareru" ("We Are Our Mountains") monument, built during the Soviet era, in Artsakh (the Armenian name for Nagorno-Karabakh). The monument, built in stone, depicts a senior woman and senior man, with the woman in native Armenian headgear. The monument is a symbol of the courage and strength of the Armenians of Artsakh, and somewhat resembles the moai (statues) found in Rapa Nui (Easter Island).

Aram, ays Tatik yev Papik e---this is a Kodak moment!
