			My Turkish friends told me that Chaku is the Turkish slang for a hoodlum’s knife. But what is interesting , the same word is a “knife” in Hindi, Marathi, Kannada and Sanskrit. And,- a cherry on top,- in Gypsy/Roma. I am wondering whether they might have been the ones to bring this word to Europe and Anatolia. |
