Alizebu

The word zebu comes from the Tibetan ceba, meaning ‘hump.’ Zebu is a breed of hump-backed India ox. With the Arabic Ali [‘by the most high’] in front, Alizebu could be translated as ‘holy cow.’ Alizebu is a word for revealing hidden passages in the computer game King’s Quest 6 [Sierra Entertainment, 1992].
