HL is one of the oddest consonant clusters to start any name or word with; hlots of us hlive with it.

Hlagniape
There's always someone making nasty with the HL thing.
The numbers of people who have added "H" to
all of the Enlgish "L" words in their e-mails to me is
asoutnding. I found that nearly 90% of the respondants did
this! I Hloved it! I have received nearly 50 e-mails from HL
people with all sorts of goodies and help -- and corrections
(which never fear to send.)
I know I can always bank on a little help:
A Hlavac from New Zealand wrote: "Your website is
so wonderful, I felt like crying. Suddenly, someone who
understands."
One should always a little bit extra!
If you know more about this I would greatly appreciate
hearing from you.
With this sort of praise the metaphorical meaning
of Hlavac: full of oneself -- will really come true!
Four people
have told me that they keep or kept scrapbooks of the
misspellings of their names -- and three of them were
Hlavac's! One guy collected nearly 60 before giving up.
There's just so many more little stories about how this
page warmed the cockles of your hearts.
I'm going to try to include the best ones as we move along.
Now here's a perfect example of Hlagniappe
Morocco
I was searching for HL words one late evening when
I ran across this recipe:
This is the first example I have of food.
And the only word I have from Morocco
Moroccan Rice Pudding
Roz Bil Hleeb
Orange flower water adds a wonderful fragrance
to this rich and creamy pudding.
Ingredients:
1 cup short-grain rice, cooked
2 tablespoons butter
2 cups milk
2/3 cup confectioners' sugar
2 1/2 tablespoons orange flower water
1/3 cup almonds, blanched
Method:
In a medium saucepan, combine cooked rice with butter,
milk, sugar,
and orange flower water. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, and
simmer
for about 20 minutes until pudding reaches a thick and
creamy consistency.
Stir in almonds. Garnish with cinnamon and orange rind.

Had this sole entry -- in a very brief travellers phrase guide
Hleeb = Milk
It's this guy's web page -- Del Hillgartner
I've already written him asking for more information
Now here's a perfect piece of Hlagniappe:
So I wrote and I waited -- and a day later I get this
response from Mr. Hilgartner:
Now THIS is a fascinating quest.
Possibly hlouf or halouf, which means pork or forbidden
meat.
Definitely - in a different language - Hlohovec, which is the
little village in Slovakia where my wife's family originated.
Good luck.
Now that's just amazing, isn't it!
That just made my day!

Swiss duo win Nations Cup; Myanmar, Singapore also
qualify for World Cup
Sun Oct 13, 6:22 AM ET
KUALA LUMPUR, Malaysia - Switzerland's Andre Bossert
and Mark Chatelain won the Davidoff Nations Cup golf
championship Sunday by one stroke over Myanmar,
Singapore and the Philippines.
Bossert and Chatelain scored a four-under-par 68 in the
alternate shot final round for a four-day total of 264 at the
par-72 Palm Resort Golf and Country Club in Johor Bahru,
southern Malaysia.
The duo's victory allowed Switzerland to qualify for the
World Cup in Mexico in December.
Myanmar and Singapore booked two remaining berths
after edging the Philippines in a playoff. The three teams
finished tied on 265.
Bossert, who earned an eighth World Cup appearance,
praised his partner for playing well under pressure.
"The key to our success is probably due to the fact that our
games are very similar," Bossert said. "We hit the same
distances, and as such, we had no problems with club
selection."
Myanmar's Kyi Hla Han and Soe Kyaw Naing will be
heading to the World Cup for their second time, while
Singapore's Mardan Mamat and Lam Chih Bing have
secured their country's maiden appearance.
