Just watching "Take on the Takeaway" and am not surprised that the Greeks/GCs are using a gullible Paul Ranking to claim Cyprus is Greek. Sheftali becomes Greek just by adding an "a" at the end of it and calling it "Sheftalia"Doner Kebab is Greek.Hummuz becomes Greek just by swapping the "z" with an "s".The Greeks/GCs are not only stealing other peoples dishes and claiming it to be Greek but they are also stealing the Turkish language and calling that Greek as well.In other words, we are not all Cypriots, we are all Greeks. Is there no end to Greeks thievery? 

How ungrateful these Turks are!  After Greeks gave them so many words to satisfy their brain needs, they complain that the Greeks have stolen a few words to satisfy their stomach needs.These are some of the words the Greeks gave the Turks:Ekonomi, matematik, geometri, trigonometri, psikoloji, astronomi, astroloji, kozmos, politika, demokrasi, otokrasi, otoriter, filozofi, teokrasi, teoloji, antropoloji, biyoloji, kimya, fizik, antagonizm, strateji, taktik, planet, jimnastik, pedoloji, ansiklopedi, kibernetik, sibernetik, organizasyon, sistem, organizma, laik, etc, etc..And these are some of the words the Turks gave the Greeks, for which they complain about:Dolma, burek, şeftali, kebap, yoğurt, kasap, pezevenk, kavgacı, kabadayı, haşhaş, siktir, etc.. :lol:   

My fav word is kilid/kilit in its Turkish form. Any guesses. If your memory is good, I did mention it more than a year ago.

What is kilid /kilit? I know of no such a word!

Checkout the word 'chelate'. The Turkish words mean lock, to lock.In biochemistry its a term used with enzyme activity. When an enzyme locks on to a substrate. Can be interchange with the word 'binding'. Its a word I like.

Tough luck Deniz ... it is a common Greek word ...

Chelation is from Greek χηλή, chelè, meaning claw; pronounced /kiːˈleɪʃən/. The term chelate was first applied in 1920 by Sir Gilbert T. Morgan and H. D. K. Drew, who stated: "The adjective chelate, derived from the great claw or chele (Greek) of the lobster or other crustaceans, is suggested for the caliperlike groups which function as two associating units and fasten to the central atom so as to produce heterocyclic rings."[1]

I know its Greek Oracle. Why do you think I asked?

Well you were talking about it in the Turkish form without referring to the Greek, then moved straight on to enzymes (and don't you dare suggest anything about Enzymes without first attributing the Greek origins of the term) ....

I was replying to Kifeas list of words and asked him to guess. Thats when you butted in, which you are welcome to do. Then you get the wrong end of the stick. Wimin

Nope .... I butted in because your inference was clearly assuming the Turkish meaning of the word, before/instead of attributing it rightfully to the Greek.

Are you intent on drving me mad? Its Greek, Its Greek, Its Greek, ad infinitum . OK? I was going to congrastulate you on your ability in 'multitasking'. That would have been a mistake. You are faltering.

I will tell you something. Do not fight on two fronts at the same time. Not a good idea.

[Kifeas]

We discussed it last year. chelate=kilit

The Greek word is "chilisi" or "chelise" (Χιληση.)

First of all .... you are mad!

Secondly, since it's Greek, so do not state the Turkish (first) as I am sure there is a Turkish equivalent to EVERY Greek word (even truth? ).

Thirdly, I am not faltering, but you.

Finally, I am not fighting, but debating ...

We discussed it last year. chelate=kilit

The Greek word is "chilisi" or "chelise" (Χιληση.)

I believe it came into Turkish from the Arabic. It was the name of a fort on the dardanelles. It was alternatively translated as ' the lock of the seas' or the 'key' to the seas. In Cyprus the word 'kilid' was also used for 'key'. How it metamorphosed is a different story for the professional linguists.

When did Turks/Ottomans first make use of Keys (as in locks)?

klis, klidi, klida, klidaria? They all mean 'key!"
klino, klidono mean to lock!

kıskaçlama?

çelatlama?

anahtar?
kilit nokta?
perde?
çözüm?
rumuz?

Thanks, but what about the last three? Are you querying them?


Carry on tomorrow.

Good night.

[Get Real!]

Ok, so what’s the final outcome in here?

Do we still get to eat Sheftalia or have they been proven a no-no by the master debater and arch-strategist Ricco?

How ungrateful these Turks are! After Greeks gave them so many words to satisfy their brain needs, they complain that the Greeks have stolen a few words to satisfy their stomach needs.

These are some of the words the Greeks gave the Turks:
Ekonomi, matematik, geometri, trigonometri, psikoloji, astronomi, astroloji, kozmos, politika, demokrasi, otokrasi, otoriter, filozofi, ideoloji, teokrasi, teoloji, antropoloji, biyoloji, kimya, fizik, antagonizm, strateji, taktik, planet, jimnastik, pedoloji, ansiklopedi, kibernetik, sibernetik, organizasyon, sistem, organizma, laik, etc, etc..

And these are some of the words the Turks gave the Greeks, for which they complain about:
Dolma, burek, şeftali, kebap, yoğurt, kasap, pezevenk, kavgacı, kabadayı, haşhaş, siktir, etc..

I don't think the above word has reached it's full potential yet with some, so do you want it back, Kifeas.!
