Greetings,

Please see:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Slug

The problem is that my sources contradict one another: some say ‘لیسه’ (e.g. Persian Wiki), others ‘لیسک’ (e.g. the one-volume Āryānpur Progressive Persian-English Dictionary).

Best wishes,

Simon

PS I think I ought to provide this link; however, there is nothing about the above words I suggest; furthermore, the usage is figurative, not literal.

It seems that لیسک is more common in monolingual Persian Dics.
