Hindi term or phrase: Ek chota peg
Hi,

I realise that it’s “one little something”, but what exactly, please?

On the URL
http://www.deccanherald.com/Archives/feb102006/sesame1839532...
it says, “Harry! Juldi idderao! Ek chota peg and popper-cakes laao! Bobbery-Bob, this chap doesn’t seem to understand anything!”

Please write “peg” in Devanagari as the Latin alphabet doesn't always faithfully represent Hindi pronunciation.

All the best,
