Note 371 — TALE OF NÚR AL-DÍN ALÍ & HIS SON BADR AL-DÍN HASAN
Richard Francis Burton translation · Edition 2
Arab. "Watan" literally meaning "birth-place" but also used for "patria, native country"; thus "Hubb al-Watan"=patriotism. The Turks pronounce it "Vatan," which the French have turned into Va-t'en!
