Bryant,
It is not clear to me why we should use all these dictionaries, where
we can use better, and to our greater advantage, our own brain.
I looked up TWOT and saw that he suggests that XALAH [of the famous
rhyme: I baked a little xalah, I baked it by myself, I put it in the
oven, I put it on the shelf,...] is some kind of bagel or pretzel
since its name implies that it is 'pierced'.
