Halil to Linguistics, Halil

For the #librarians: Not sure if you already know this but the Turkish word for library is "kütüphane" It's a constructed word from 2 languages; the Arabic word for book, originally kutub, the modern Turkish linguists desire to distance themselves from the Arabic language during the language reformation changed the b to a p; and the old Ottoman word hane meaning house, although it has a much broader meaning than just an abode, eg dynastic/royal/noble house etc.
