It also seems to me a criticism to the surgeons of those days ![]() P.S. In Turkish, the idiom of lighting a candle and search for something with it in the dark means vigorously looking for something difficult to find. |

Am I correct in assuming the pronunciation of "yanarsin" and "ararsin" rhyme? If so, then maybe the choice of a surgeon is simply a convenient literary device?
Either way, a beautiful kindjal / kama with an awfully cool inscription.
