I have set down the Kailouee names for various articles of dress as well
as weapons:--
Green cloth cap Bakin zakee.
Turban, or bandage round the head and face Taghalmous.
Red or other caps Takabout.
Frock and shirt Teekatkat.
Trousers Eskarbaee.
Sandals Eghateema.
Dagger Azegheez.
Sword Alagh.
Spear Ebzaghdeer.
Shield Aghar.
Arrow Amour.
Bow Takanya.
Leathern bag for tobacco, pipe, needles,
thread, scissors, looking-glass, and other
small things,--nicknacks Elbes.
Charm Sheera.
I can scarcely yet venture to pronounce an opinion on the character of
the Kailouees. They decidedly differ from the Haghar and Azgher
Tuaricks, in being more civil and companionable. But they seem to have
acquired from Soudan the habit of petty thieving, from which the Haghars
are especially free.
