(Part 1/2) A few days ago a friend of mine told me the interesting etymology of his favorite Ukrainian word "філіжанка" which I would like to share with y'all today)
As it turns out, "філіжанка", meaning "tea or coffee cup" isn't like your average Slavic word that boringly descends from a Proto-Slavic form which then evolved over the centuries. No, not at all! This term has actually traveled the globe, hailing from a land most of our forefathers weren't even aware of)
Our story starts in the Middle East, with the Classical Persian word پنگان (pengân), meaning: cup, bowl and water clock. This was then borrowed by Arabic فنجان (finjān), where it only meant "cup". This was then reborrowed by Persian as فنجان (fenjân), this time only meaning "cup", unlike the earlier Classical Persian form.

Some people used the platform to organize ahead of the storming of the U.S. Capitol in January 2021, and last month Senator Mark Warner sent a letter to Durov urging him to curb Russian information operations on Telegram. Russian President Vladimir Putin launched Russia's invasion of Ukraine in the early-morning hours of February 24, targeting several key cities with military strikes. Despite Telegram's origins, its approach to users' security has privacy advocates worried. In 2014, Pavel Durov fled the country after allies of the Kremlin took control of the social networking site most know just as VK. Russia's intelligence agency had asked Durov to turn over the data of anti-Kremlin protesters. Durov refused to do so. Since January 2022, the SC has received a total of 47 complaints and enquiries on illegal investment schemes promoted through Telegram. These fraudulent schemes offer non-existent investment opportunities, promising very attractive and risk-free returns within a short span of time. They commonly offer unrealistic returns of as high as 1,000% within 24 hours or even within a few hours.
