‡suq - A bazaar or commercial district in the Arabic world. Also spelled "souq," "souk," etc.
**qi - In Chinese philosophy, the underlying life force in all things, believed to cause bad health if not properly balanced. Apparently the plural is "qis," although I don't see how a non-count noun can have a plural. Also spelled "chi," "ch'i," etc.
