Dájokur



Dájokur (Ancient Xápék: ; Oocaulus Sacchariferus) is a perennial succulent plant native to the Sáikók desert and grown in a vast area in South Soco, mainly for its fibre and sweet sap, which is used in the manufacturing of refined sugar.

Etymology
The Ancient Xápék word dájokur is derived from Proto-Ka *dàzokuz, from *dàz- "sweet" and *kuz- "small rock, pebble". It is an example of a Wanderwort as it spread through languages throughout the Sáikók desert. In Proto-Meñśwe, it became *tarkul.

In Torore, the word for the "sugar" tarokor was derived from it. The term has a doublet taxukur derived from Ancient Xápék, it means a kind of sweet aphrodisiac drug made from plant powder, used for religious rituals.
