And let us not forget ahvaz.  Come on ahvazi natives of the net.  I know few
of you are just becoming red like a 'laboo.'  This is khoozestan time, and
does not come to you in a life time.  :-)

Ali and Mike, you guys are true khoozestAnis.  Damn [(c) K1, 92], my father
retired from the Oil Company and we moved to Tehran when I was only 7 years
old.  I hardly remember all those words.  Let me try few of them:

bengesht ---> gonjeshk?
konar    ---> these tehrani people call it 'zAl-zAlak'
tonokah  ---> I remember tonekeh, it meant underwear!
balam    ---> special boat

May I add the ones I vividly remember:  'seyko' and of course 'volek.'
