Thank you so very much for taking the time to supply this information. It is much appreciated.
: Never heard a word like "Tarbous"
: But,
: Just a presumption.
: There is, better to say, there was a Turkish
: word, called "Darbaz" (pronounce
: like "dar-buzz"). Origin of this
: word is Persian, and means "acrobat,
: rope-walker". This word is not used any
: more in Turkish language.
: As far as I could trace, there are some
: Darbaz families living in Istanbul,
: Gaziantep, Sakarya/Adapazari, Denizli, Corum
: and Sivas.
:
: I wish this information helps you one step
: further.
: Regards
: Orak Dogu
