humma dats 

Chechen for "no problem", like Swahili "hakuna matata". Pronounced "HOOM-ah DAHTS", the "h" being pronounced with a slight rasp from far back in the throat, the "OO" short as in "book".

dechik-pondur

A Chechen musical instrument, this is a type of lute with usually three strings, a spade- or bottle-shaped hollow body, and a short fretted fingerboard. The sound quality is bright but at the same time soft in volume. "Dechik" means "wood" and "pondur" or "pondar" means "musical instrument".
I like the sound of a dechik-pondur better than the Chechen balalaika.

kekhat-pondur 

A rather unusual way of describing a Chechen musical instrument, but perfectly logical when you consider that the bellows of this instrument are made out of a type of cardboard/plastic composite; a Chechen accordion. "Kekhat" means "paper", and "pondur" or "pondar" means "musical instrument". The Chechen accordion has a bright and loud tone quality and is well-suited to playing rapid, staccato passages.
The "Lovzar" Chechen Dance Ensemble had some very good kekhat-pondur players.

ezpata dantza 

Basque dance done with swords. The dance is usually done with high kicks and leaps. "Ezpata" comes from the Spanish word for a sword, "espada".
We went to a Basque festival and one of the highlists of the dance segment was the ezpata dantza.
