Well, I am impressed with myself! I understood/guess correctly what you were saying there. I knew "kitab'.
: What's that, Lale?

: I was writing a lot of Turkish letters at the time and
: I wrote that line "12 tane kitaba birer oy
: veriyorduk degil mi?", without thinking, I guess
: because I was in my Turkish mode. I realized that it
: was in Turkish after I posted it and I decided to
: leave it like that to see if anyone would try to
: decipher it. I was particularly hopeful that Steven

:
: kitap = book, kitaba = to the book
: oy = vote
: degil mi? = Isn't it so?, Right?
:
: We give one vote each to 12 books, right?
:
: Because in earlier years we had tried other methods,
: we had given 6 points to the book we wanted most, 3
: points to the second etc.
:
: My votes are coming today.
