I digress.<br /><br />They changedthe name of it in the UK to Ciffa few years back kinda like they did with Oil of Ulay (now Olay). I buy Ciff washing up liquid here but they Turks, because of the "C" pronounce it Jiff. Just like the old days in the UK. <br /><br /><br />Hope you enjoyed my musings.

'ğ' is in fact a unique sound itself. it`s a voiced consonant. if you consider "h" as the voiceless equivalent of 'ğ', it will be easier to understand.Deli Cevatnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6887493634994635585.post-63694576467770921052010-03-16T18:43:13.079+02:002010-03-16T18:43:13.079+02:00Brilliant!
