ambigram: matahari.

.

Malay for 'sun'. Interestingly, the word 'matahari' is made up of two words: 'mata' which means 'eye' and 'hari' which means 'day'. Thus, a 'matahari' is the 'eye of day'.

Other languages too have this very fascinating way to describe an object: an example would be the English 'belly button' to describe the navel. Do you know of other words in other languages describing objects this way? Do share.
