Edris A Jin
Edris a jin was a cross and circle game played by the Druze of Syria and Lebanon. It has been compared to Pachisi. Overview Stewart Culin states the name, meaning "game of the Jinn", is derived in part from the prophet Enoch, identified by Muslim scholars as Idris (prophet), Idris. The game is played on a cloth board with "a parti-colored diagram with four arms each having four rows of eight squares, each connected at the ends by a diagonal row of eight squares, the whole forming an octagonal figure." The central area of 16 squares is designated the ''serai''. Each player has three cowrie shells as pieces, one of which is designated the "chief" and the remaining two the "soldiers"; four more cowries are thrown to determine movement, but Culin did not describe how that was determined.

Surnames Of Eritrean Origin
In many societies, a surname, family name, or last name is the mostly hereditary portion of one's personal name that indicates one's family. It is typically combined with a given name to form the full name of a person, although several given names and surnames are possible in the full name. In modern times most surnames are hereditary, although in most countries a person has a right to change their name. Depending on culture, the surname may be placed either at the start of a person's name, or at the end. The number of surnames given to an individual also varies: in most cases it is just one, but in Portuguese-speaking countries and many Spanish-speaking countries, two surnames (one inherited from the mother and another from the father) are used for legal purposes. Depending on culture, not all members of a family unit are required to have identical surnames. In some countries, surnames are modified depending on gender and family membership status of a person.

Tigrinya, sometimes romanized as Tigrigna, is an Ethio-Semitic language, which is a subgrouping within the Semitic branch of the Afroasiatic languages. It is primarily spoken by the Tigrinya and Tigrayan peoples native to Eritrea and the Ethiopian state of the Tigray Region, respectively. It is also spoken by the global diaspora of these regions.

Ge'ez, because of its status in Eritrean and Ethiopian culture, and possibly also its simple structure, acted as a literary medium until relatively recent times. The earliest written example of Tigrinya is a text of local laws found in the district of Logosarda, Debub Re ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
