2/20    Adios, Fidel; khuda ha-fiz, Pervez; zdravo, Belgrade.
        Tzai chien, Beijing? Do svidanya, Moscow?
        \- re: "ha-fiz", do you write "pro-tection"?
           \_ Would it be more correct to write it "hafiz"? I don't actually
              speak Urdu.
              \- hafiz, from arabic word for protection. urdu is basically
                 hindi written in arabic script. urdu speakers in practice
                 use more middle eastern than sanskrit words. big con-
                 troversy in some places over allah hafiz replacing khuda
                 hafiz.
                 \_ You know, this is really interesting. Thank you for posting
                    about it.
