Quote from this book "Nowadays a boy who prostitutes himself is known as an 'ilq, a term which normally denotes an object that is greatly treasured and jealously guarded - in other words 'a precious thing'. Now, some fraudulent character who makes a show of mystical piety will approach a lad, pinch his nose, pull his lips and boldly and unashamedly accost him with the words, 'Ah, my precious one.' Then if the lad yields and gives him a little encouragement, the man will quickly seize his opportunity and have his way with him. But if the boy snubs him or rounds on him or is apprehensive of the outcome of his evil intentions or shows his displeasure, the fraudulent mystic will desist, sigh and, shaking his head, say 'Ah, it seems you don't know what precious one ('ilq) means or what it is.'" opening, Chapter II, references omitted Secondhand booksellers |
