I have noticed that my father drops the first consonant off most nouns, and often sticks an 'i' where there is usually an 'a'. For example, baklawa is baklawi, etc. We are from Massachusetts, so in English he doesn't pronounce his 'r's either! To Thomas Bonasera,

The walnut ones were beyond amazing!!! Since Ramadan started every morning on my way to school I watch them make the little pancakes at all the bakeries that usually make and sell bread. Today I was annoyed because I was desperate for bread but all i could find at the bakeries were people making the pancakes and they wouldn't let me buy any until later in the day either. Maybe they knew I wasn't fasting and would eat them for breakfast on my way to class. I just had them the other night at an Iftar that I went to here in Nablus. The walnut ones were beyond amazing!!!

I would love to have them again. Might make them this weekend. Is it colloquial _Jerusalem_ Arabic that gives "Atayif"? I remember an old Palestinian man told me "Narghila" (water pipe, hubbly bubbly, shisha) was "Arghila" in colloquial Jerusalem Arabic.
