A catalogue of new words I learn in Greek and English. This is the public blog of Joanna Eleftheriou (Ιωάννα Ελευθερίου). I welcome comments that help refine my understanding of these words' nuances and usage. Thanks!

water lily
νούφαρo (NOU-far-oh). It appears in this song. I knew how to say lily (κρίνο / krino) but water lily is a totally different word. Τhe Greek word desrives from the Arabic noufar.
