You are correct! It's a city in Iran with important holy sites for the Shi'ite moslems.

AFAIK, nouns are in fact 'words'. All of the other actual 'words' in the results, as opposed to acronyms or misspellings, that meet the criteria stipulated in the question, are also nouns.

Thank you MrMitchell.

I think I had best retire from this quiz, leaving the field open for the young thrusters.

Or the old thrusters. No need to be ageist about it...

"Proper nouns" however, and even more so proper nouns which are of a non-English (perhaps Iranian?) nature, are not valid Scrabble words, and are thus not technically part of the English language.
