   Turandot

   "The title of the opera is derived from the Persian term Turandokht (توراندخت, 'daughter of Turan'), a name frequently given to Central Asian princesses in Persian poetry. Turan is a region of Central Asia that was once part of the Persian Empire. Dokht is a contraction of dokhtar (daughter); the kh and t are both pronounced." (Wiki)

   This obviously makes me wonder about the "linguistic journey" that dokhtar might have undergone, from Persia to the North of Europe and the UK.
