Greetings to all.

I need the Assyrian generic word for "bread" - a la Arabic "3ish" or "Hubz" or Persian "naan."

Hope that some < proz.com > colleagues originally from Iraq can help with this.

Asking on behalf of a volunteer public services agency that distributes foodstuff.

Many thanks in advance.

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia.

Two Brِtchen
An Austrian (Kaiser-)SemmelA bread roll is a piece of bread, usually small and round. They are often used in the same way as sandwiches are—cut transversally, with fillings between the two halves.

Bread rolls are much more common in Europe, especially in Germany and Austria, than in the USA. The German name for rolls is Brِtchen (Northern Germany), which literally means small bread, Semmel (Southern Germany and Austria, from Latin similia wheat flour, originally form Assyrian samidu white flour) or Schrippe (in Berlin and parts of Brandenburg). In Germany and Austria, there is a large variety of bread rolls, ranging from white rolls made with wheat flour, to dark rolls containing mostly rye flour. Many variants include spices, such as coriander and cumin, nuts, or seeds, such as sesame seeds or sunflower seeds. An Italian form is a small loaf of ciabatta which can be used to make a panino (or panini).
