Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/Qhora

I wanted to share the origin of this word and how I came across it's meaning.

My name is Stuart Butler, I work for Skrill.com which is one of the largest e-wallets globally and helps people pay and be paid on-line.

Recently on a trip to Latin America, I spent 6 weeks with a client called Millicom who operate mobile networks and specifically mobile wallets called Tigo across Central and Latin America. During the 6 weeks of travel I spent considerable time in El Salvador, Honduras, Guatamala, Bolivia and Paraguay.

Through my journey, there was a country manager of Bolivia who introduced me to Qhora. He said it was a Bolivia herb which makes tea. The joke was it was a little too spicy for the English taste.

He said that although the origin of the word he believed to be Quechua, connected to the Aztec's, he said that qhora, pronounced qha hora also meant 'that hour / that time' so it doubled up as a phrase to sit down with somebody to have a cup of tea. The use of the phrase was if somebody had a big decision to make, or was confused about an issue, they should seek qhora with the village elder or wiseman. He also said that only the hardiest of herbs survive in parts of Bolivia which was due to two reasons, either the poor soil quality of the higher regions or the competitive nature of the botany of the lower, richer soil.

As we built a number of online services, connecting mobile customers across LatAm to global merchants and instant money transfer, every time we struck a difficult decision or hit a problem we could not navigate around, the Bolivian phrase was - we should stop for qhora.

When I came back to England and I researched this phrase, I could not find many references to either the herb for a cup of tea, the meaning associated with it for sitting down and having a cup of tea or it's apparent hardiness of growing in difficult conditions so I felt obliged to add it to the source of knowledge Wikipedia.

Whether this belongs in Wikipedia or not, I'll let the academia decide. My search and objective was to share the knowledge and seek verification, additional references where appropriate. I did not want the knowledge and reference, which is passed from generation to generation of a non-internet culture to be lost.
