I often re-read books.
What book am I re-reading?
It has a glossary in the back which begins with 'Ala Hazrat and ends with Yakdan.

Nothing close yet but you are broadly in the right geographical area.
It is a book of ten stories, with a bit of poetry at the start.

I'm drinking a Bunnahabhain and not guessing. Prior to that we were finishing a whisky society bottling. And prior to that the Fonseca 85 which was disappointing and short. It was clearly oxidised from having been stood up in the shop since 1987.

After all, I'm not a native speaker and only had one class on Middle English (back in '98). And the fake bible quotation would have been Early Modern English anyway.
