EN: a type of tall grass or weed
Before it was a province you drive through on SCTEX, 'tarlak' was just a humble weed, a kind of tall grass similar to talahib. The province was named after it! So next time you're stuck in traffic there, you can tell your friends, "Did you know we're in the land of tall grass?" It's a great fun fact that will make you sound smart (or like a nerd, depending on your friends).
