I am totally fascinated by the latest exchanges initiated by
Babaganooj (which, btw, is one of my favorite dishes -- I once wrote a
song about babaganoosh...many years ago when I was in a band in Balto,
MD)

The parties as described by Zahira sound like parties I used to have
back in college when a group of us (my four roommates and our friends)
would get together to henna our hair and apply facial masks. Men were
banished -- and any who dared interrupt were chased by fierce ladies
wearing green and blue clay masks -- a scary sight, indeed! It was a
wonderful bonding experience where we shared our hopes, dreams, and
disappointments -- and felt very grown up -- so recently out of the
parental nest.

Babaganooj, I love your comment about men being tossed out like male
bees, etc, only useful for reproductive properties...sort of rejected
and prideful at the same time... Poor men. :)

Thanks again for your interesting insights into linguistics. One more
reason to admire semitic languages. The beautiful writing and
tradition of calligraphy is another...
