    Tisek means ring.

    These are sometimes reffered to as such, but more generally are called tanfouk or talhakimt .

    Warm wishes

    @thank you Sarah, I sometimes mix them up - Tisek and Tanfouk, I did not know which expression applies here. Good to know that Tisek means ring, perhaps it will stay like that in my head.
