What does SALUKI mean in Scrabble?
noun
A tall, slim hunting dog with a silky coat and long feathered ears, bred in the Middle East for chasing gazelles.
The saluki is among the oldest recognised dog breeds, and images of similar hounds appear on ancient Egyptian and Mesopotamian carvings. It hunts by sight and is built for speed over open desert, with long legs, a deep chest and a narrow head. Nomadic peoples prized the saluki highly and often kept it in their tents instead of with other dogs. The breed is sometimes called the gazelle hound.
