"Pish" does, though, sound a lot to my far from expert ear like how a Kyrgyz might say five (even though it is "besh" <a href="http://www.celestial.com.kg/about_kyrgyzstan/the_kyrgyz_language.shtml">here</a>).

And I took this picture at Midnight Mosaic. Rolando(that Mexican guy in dopa)is a freshman here. I did my cultural presentation about Uzbekistan. Also, I never heard the word "Peshpek" in Uzbek. But it maybe mispronounced of "Beshbek" which means "Five Beks" from Uzbek. "Bek" was a ruler of an administrative region called "Beklik" in 18-19 centuries in Khanates and Bukhara emirates. Hey, Alisher, where are you? Do know this word? Hey Nathan and Tanya,

I'm using this opportunity to alert you to the discussion <a href="http://www.languagehat.com/archives/001569.php">here</a> about origins of the word Bishkek. I thought may be Alisher could help with reference to the relevant Uzbek word (does Pishpek mean anything to Uzbek?), but anybody who qualify may comment, of course.
