n.
(in India) cheap cigarette made from cut tobacco rolled in leaf
Beedi
A beedi (from
Hindi बीड़ी, (
pronounced: ) also known as bidi or biri) is a thin, often flavored,
South Asian cigarette made of
tobacco wrapped in a
tendu (or temburini; Diospyros melonoxylon) leaf, and secured with colored thread at one end. Beedies, though smaller than regular cigarettes produce three times more carbon monoxide and nicotine, and five times more tar than a regular cigarette. Tobacco content in beedies is 10-20%, and, unlike regular cigarettes, beedies do not contain added chemicals. Like all tobacco products, use can cause various
cancers.

Bi-directional text
Some
writing systems of the world, notably the
Arabic (including variants such as
Perso-Arabic or
Nasta'liq) and
Hebrew scripts, are written in a form known as right-to-left (RTL), in which writing begins at the right-hand side of a page and concludes at the left-hand side. This is different from the left-to-right (LTR) direction in which languages using the
Latin alphabet (such as
English) are written. When LTR text is mixed with RTL in the same paragraph, each type of text should be written in its own direction, which is known as bi-directional text. This can get rather complex when multiple levels of quotation are used.
