Sounds like a fictitious name Explanation: Isn't it a fictitious name in a game/film scence? A seller is asking and shouting "Would you like モコレッチ?" But I don't know what モコレッチ means in Italian, sorry. I humbly sugget you- You don't need は in モコレッチ [は] ひとつはいらんかね! モコレッチひとつはいらんかね! However, モコレッチいらんかね!sounds more natural.

The below is the result from google.co. uk: ...The sellers of moccoletti entered on the scene. The moccoli, or moccoletti, are candles which vary in size from the pascal taper to the rushlight, ... -The Count of Monte Cristo -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 81 days (2007-10-17 13:15:50 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Oops, you seem to have had found out anyway! -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 88 days (2007-10-24 15:01:30 GMT) Post-grading -------------------------------------------------- thanks for picking me! :-) Example sentence(s):
