Quoting nerminn

zýkkýmýn kökünü ye

 

I think it says ´eat poison!´  ( or something harmful)

Well, if I am not wrong, zýkkým (or zakkum in some sources) is a bitter and very poisonous flower (i guess , the English name of it is nerium oleander).

So, the whole phrase should mean something like " Eat the root of zýkkým flower (oleander)"

Hope, this was helpful...
