Agumba People
The Agumba (also Gumba) people were an ethnic group who inhabited the forests of Mount Kenya, but are now either extinct or assimilated. Sources The Agumba people are known of only through the oral tradition of the Kikuyu, Embu, and Meru peoples. Origins Routledge notes that the traditions collected among the Kikuyu were "definitely to the...effect that the A'si preceded the Agum'ba and that the latter two people lived side by side in villages". However, according to Meru traditions, the Agumba predated the Athi people in their areas of occupation. A specific instance of tradition relating to rituals also seems to affirm this fact, "A-Athi traditions suggest (that rituals) were adopted ('bought') from earlier hunting peoples whom they encountered as they entered the forest. Neither instance seem to provide a point of origin beyond their presence on Mount Kenya. Language The Agumba of Meru tradition spoke a Kalenjin dialect that bears similarity to present-day Okiek languages. T ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Goombah
''Goombah'' is a pejorative slang term for people of Italian descent, mainly in the United States, with several related connotations to the Mafia (either the Italian-American Mafia, the original Sicilian Mafia, or other Italian organized crime groups) or gangs of Italian or Italian-American origin. Etymology ''Goombah'' and similar forms probably derived as an alteration or Anglicized spelling of the common Southern Italian familiar term of address, ''cumpà'', the apocoped oxytone form of the word ''cumpari'' found in Southern Italian dialects and ''compare'' found in Standard Italian, which denotes the godfather in a baptism. It is therefore commonly used as a term of endearment roughly equivalent to "friend," "brother," or "comrade" among close friends or associates (generally males) in certain parts of Southern Italy, including Campania and Sicily, where it becomes ''cumpà'' or ''cumpari'' in the regional Southern languages. It has, however, also gained a less inno ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Gompa
A Gompa or Gönpa ( "remote place", Sanskrit ''araṇya''), also known as ling (), is a Buddhist ecclesiastical fortification of learning, lineage and sādhanā that may be understood as a conflation of a fortification, a vihara and a university associated with Tibetan Buddhism and thus common in historical Tibetan regions including parts of China, India, Nepal, and Bhutan. Bhutanese dzong architecture is a subset of traditional gompa design. Gompa may also refer to a meditation room, without the attached living quarters, where practitioners meditate and listen to teachings. Meditation rooms in urban Buddhist centres are often referred to as gompas. Design and interior details vary from region to region; however, all follow a general design of a central prayer hall containing a murti or thangka, benches for the monks or nuns to engage in prayer or meditation and attached living accommodation. The gompa or ling may also be accompanied by any number of stupa A stupa ( ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
Gumbo
Gumbo ( Louisiana Creole: Gombo) is a soup popular in the U.S. state of Louisiana, and is the official state cuisine. Gumbo consists primarily of a strongly-flavored stock, meat or shellfish (or sometimes both), a thickener, and the Creole "holy trinity" ― celery, bell peppers, and onions. Gumbo is often categorized by the type of thickener used, whether okra or filé powder (dried and ground sassafras leaves). Gumbo can be made with or without okra or filé powder. The preferred method in the historical New Orleans variation is with a French dark roux. The flavor of the dish has its origins in many cultures. Creole gumbo generally contains shellfish, and a dark roux, filé, or both. Today, tomatoes are occasionally found in Creole gumbo and frequently appear in New Orleans cuisine but many gumbo cooks believe that tomatoes should never be used in gumbo. Cajun gumbo is generally based on a dark roux and is made with shellfish or fowl. Sausage or ham is often a ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
