antouwan Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 In Arabic it's referred to as a glass (in Lebanese Arabic: izzéze), so that's what I typically call it in English. Otherwise, either base or vase. And yes, şişe in Turkish (aka shisha) comes from shisheh meaning glass in Persian, and just refers to the water receptacle (şişe also generically means "bottle" in Turkish, and of course in Arabic "shisha" IS THE WHOLE PIPE! :dash2: ) EXACTLY. I call it glass - direct translation of what it's referred to in arabic -> i2zaz/qezaz depending on how close you are to some limp-wristed metropolitan area...

mushrat Posted March 26, 2013 Share Posted March 26, 2013 Usually Base. Vase on occasion. Don't ask me what occasions because I can't really think of when I use one over the other. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
