Profesor profesionalTongue Twister Challenge!
This word is hard for Arabic native speakers, what about Arabic learners!
Can you say <مَلْبَن > Ten times without being your tongue twisted?
If you really did that, but "done" in comments!

After I read your comment, I googled the word. The original name was راحة الحلقوم
راحة means comfort and حلقوم throat. I found it really bizarre. Moreover, I read this name was coined in Persian language and they used Arabic loanwords that's why it sound as an Arabic name. So it called حلقوم in almost all Arabic countries. In Syrian dialect, they shortcut it to راحة

You are right. I found the translation on the Mawreed dictionary, they give Turkish delights first and then they say "go to حلقوم" . I think the Mawreed is a Lebanese dictionary. Great one by the way.

As a native speaker It was so easy. However, when I read it for the first time I thought the name refers to some kind of food that made from milk not a Turkish delight. We call Turkish delight حلقوم in Libya or at least in my city.
