layàk
n.— «Abandoning a Muslim tradition of more than a thousand years, Turkey has also adopted a distinction between divine and secular law, even coining a new word for the latter (layàk, clearly borrowed from laicité, the French word for “secularity”).» —“Turkey and the Current European Confusion” by Patrick Reardon Touchstone July 11, 2004.
