Subject: "zole" clarification

Greetings to all.

M. Deeb is right about the distinction between Sudanese colloquial "zole"
versus "zalama" used elsewhere.

After his gracious citation of the plural form "azwaal" jogged my memory, I
found that entry in one of my notebooks from Khartoum (Um Durman and Tuti
Island). I had been elsewhere misinformed about the source of that expression
re a spurious tie-in to zalama.

Regards and my thanks for his clarification.

Sincerely,

Stephen H. Franke
