Hi,
Um sissi, is a kind of woodpecker with a sharp beak. That bird wasn't seen in our region for years.
Nowadays, the word means a person that's a snitch.
Thanks!
>Nowadays, the word means a person that's a snitch.
Interesting! Why a snitch? Any ideas?
Take care.
Ahul
In Tumz'abt, according to J Delheure (1), UMSISI is a wagtail (bergeronnette in french, Motacilla in latin). M S Ounissi (2) gives simply bird for the meaning.
