Young\u003c\/b\u003e (Author)\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIn the Arab world, people belong to kinship groups (lineages and tribes). Many lineages are named after animals, birds, and plants. Why? This survey evaluates five old explanations - \"totemism,\" \"emulation of predatory animals,\" \"ancestor eponymy,\" \"nicknaming,\" and \"Bedouin proximity to nature.\" It suggests a new hypothesis: Bedouin tribes use animal names to obscure their internal cleavages. Such tribes wax and wane as they attract and lose allies and clients; they include \"attached\" elements as well as actual kin. To prevent outsiders from spotting \"attached\" groups, Bedouin tribes scatter non-human names across their segments, making it difficult to link any segment with a human ancestor. Young's argument contributes to theories of tribal organization, Arab identity, onomastics, and Near Eastern kinship.\u003c\/p\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNumber of Pages:\u003c\/strong\u003e 372\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1 x 9.6 x 6.4 IN\u003c\/div\u003e\n            \u003cdiv\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePublication Date:\u003c\/strong\u003e April 24, 2024\u003c\/div\u003e\n            ","brand":"BooksCloud","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53192038678835,"sku":"9789004690394","price":201.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0300\/5595\/6612\/files\/yT5jfNSvkp9789004690394.webp?v=1775065635","url":"https:\/\/www.vysn.com\/en-ca\/products\/the-animal-names-of-the-arab-ancestors-explaining-the-non-human-names-of-arab-kinship-groups-volume-2-1-appendices-hardcover","provider":"VYSN","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
