Usage notes

In compound nouns of which this term is the head and the modifier is a term for the main ingredient, the head does (unlike what is usual in Turkish compound nouns) not take the possessive form. For example, a pilaki based on borlotti beans is called barbunya pilaki, not *barbunya pilakisi.
