I’m always on the lookout for obscure references to “gelwan”. Can anyone translate this one? (Scroll down to it): “Di gelwan merc�n dijwar de ew bi d�v gotina kurd�ya resen de geriya , ew gotin di t�rik�xwe de parast
�tov�w�di nav gel de belav kir.” (Kurdistan National Assembly – Kone Res – Bilbil� �iyay�Botan)

A Victim Treats His Mugger Right
“‘He wants my money, so I just gave him my wallet and told him, ‘Here you go,’‘ Diaz says.
As the teen began to walk away, Diaz told him, ‘Hey, wait a minute. You forgot something. If you’re going to be robbing people for the rest of the night, you might as well take my coat to keep you warm.’
The would-be robber looked at his would-be victim, ‘like what’s going on here?’ Diaz says. ‘He asked me, ‘Why are you doing this?”
Diaz replied: ‘If you’re willing to risk your freedom for a few dollars, then I guess you must really need the money. I mean, all I wanted to do was get dinner and if you really want to join me … hey, you’re more than welcome.” (NPR)
