English reference works refer to the Burka, but watching an Afghan girl talking on TV the other day (in Arabic, I think), she pronounced the word Bukra, several times. (It had subtitles). So is the word really Bukra?

I am a prat. Having just done what I should have originally, that is to type the word BUKRA into Google search, I now know that what the girl was saying was Bukra, meaning 'some time in the future', and not talking about what she didn't like wearing. I bet incitatus doesn't make mistakes like that...
