Nargile

From LoveToKnow 1911

NARGILE or Nargileh, the Persian and Turkish name for a "hookah," a tobacco pipe with a long flexible tube for stem passing through a vessel containing water, often perfumed. This bowl was originally made of a coco-nut (Persian nargil), whence the name, but now glass, metal or porcelain, are also used.
