Hi Shawi,
thanks for this detailled shawi vocab.
I think the name of the plought in tashawit is thimassin or Imassen.
According to E. Laoust book, only the Aures and the middle Atlas(Morroco) kept this original name.
Is that true?
Hi there, amk hallid',
>I think the name of the plough in tashawit is thimassin or Imassen.
I'm not familiar the words. If you have the book, can you give us the exact quote?
As you can see, the authors used the word muharrath, derived from Arabic. I know d'i hmura nnegh we use 2 words : Tyuga and lfix.
Tyuga/hyuga : traditional plough
lfix : a more advanced plough.
Thanks for your input!
H Shawi,
The title of the book is: Mots et choses Berberes(awalen d tghawsawin) By Emile Laoust.
I don't have access to it right now to give the exact quote.
