Question Ably - 24: Answer

Runglee Rungliot - or Rangli Rangliot and so on, you get the idea - is the answer.

In this connection, one of the avid readers of this blog wrote, along with his correct answer within minutes of the question going online:

"When my sister and I were growing up, I remember we used to wonder at these tin boxes with a picture of a Tibetan lama blowing one of those Tibetan horns and 'Runglee Rungliot' written on top. There was never any tea in there, as the boxes were used to store some other things. We figured out what those two words meant only after the Google age. Your question this morning brought back fond memories and tears of happiness."

Of course, the last sentence is mine entirely. The mind's tendency to rung liot. I mean run riot.
