I don't know when you last visited Cyprus, but there has been so much building along the north coast to the west of Kyrenia that it is difficult to tell what is where. It's almost just one long town until the road turns inland to Merthou/Camlibel.

My brother in law owns a huge amount of that land on the coast leading out west from Kyrenia.

Last easter, I tried to find my uncles old house on the outskirts Kyrenia. I drove to some outskirts and ended up near Lapithos/Lapta. Crazy isnt it. Too much bulding in such a narrow strip of land. I knew I had passed it but wanted to watch the 'sunset'.

I should have known Karaman, as my Teutonic friends who live in Karmi always call it Karaman. Old habits. Or as we used to say: 40 yillik Yanni olur mu Kani. ( I hope its the right way round) Damn old age.

I sense that you are a fellow etymology fan. It seems that the root of the Turkish word 'narenciye' is the Farsi 'narang'. You will find a detailed study of the etymology of this Farsi word here:

Many thanks Tim.

One quick browse through my 'Original' Ottoman Redhouse printed in 1890, Constantinople, lends me to believe that the contents are 38% Arabic, 44% Farsi and 18% pure Turkish. So no surprise there. Of course this is a guestimate.

More Farsi than Arabic? That surprises me.

Sitting back and watching other people develop/walk over/live in your land...thats an anger very few people get to feel.

I hope his children will not be disinherited from what is their right.
