KGT 42:  Similarly, the common word for 'teacup' is {Dargh HIvje'} (literally, 'tea drinking vessel'). Among the upper classes, the word {tu'lum} is used with some frequency, though, strictly speaking, this archaic word used to mean only a cup made of metal. ... Among the lower classes-except for those working as servants for the higher classes-words like ... {tu'lum} are known but seldom used...
