We usually observe "QU" being succeeded by a vowel. As for example: "QUIET" "QUITE" "UNIQUE" "QUIZ" etc. Can you think of a 'meaningful' English word, where "QU" will NOT be followed by a vowel? I'll give you an example. "QURAN" GOOD LUCK! :-)

As I remembered, it's modern Arabic meaning is Two Moons. An archaeological site too where the Dead Sea Scrolls were found.

When 'opposite in meaning' words are paired/grouped logically, they result in what we term to be an 'OXYMORON'. A few examples are in order: 'Careless Elegance' 'Open Secret' Can you think of a few more? :-)

cumquat "CUMQUAT" consists of a vowel 'A' following "QU". You need to write a meaningful word where "QU" isn't succeeded by a vowel. Good Luck!

BTW (By The Way), is that word "QURSH" or "QURUSH"?

Saudi Arabian monetary unit is most probably "Qurush" (and not "Qursh").

Question: There are two sisters: one gives birth to the other and she, in turn, gives birth to the first. Who are the two sisters? [Hint: Consider 'Mother Nature' To Be Predominantly Prevalent In Our Daily Lives!] :-)
