 * / ašikane (amorously) < Ottoman Turkish (âşıkane) < Persian  (âšeqâne)
 * I couldn't find anything on this word. Could some pointers be provided please? Perhaps a variation of ašik? --Ivan Štambuk 00:55, 15 November 2009 (UTC)
 * Sorry, I've corrected the spelling and I've added extra info. I would add it myself, but I'm on vacation and this computer is awful.  It took me almost 15 minutes to write this.  No necessary fonts, no Firefox, slow internet.  It's a nightmare. :( --Dijan 08:29, 27 December 2009 (UTC)
 * The word certainly exists and can be found in the literature, but unfortunately no dictionary that I have lists it. I hesitate to add it until meaning and accents can be verified (although the translateion "amorously" fits pretty well in the usage, and with the relation to ašik and ašikovati). --Ivan Štambuk 04:07, 7 March 2010 (UTC)
