I have to say this is a great thread, the type of which I wish I would see more of on this forum.

As a side not when I speak Turkish (cypriot) to people from Turkey they often have no idea what I am saying... so I wonder how many of the words I use are from a greek cypriot baf Dialect?

..... Or it could be that having being born in london that I just speak Turkish or Turkish cypriot very badly

Don't worry about it, unless GCs make the effort to speak Greek Greek, the Greeks don't understand them (except for some of the islanders).

What does it mean when you use the word? It may help us ID it.

I guessed right or its a coincidence.

It could have the same Arabic root as Moukhtar/Muhtariyet which means village leader and independence.

If Independence = Free

Just thinking. I will check my bible as I do not remember the word in the form you wrote it.
