Strange Belief of Peculiar Turkish
Sect.
TheYezidees, a peculiar Turkish sect,
are perhaps the only people in the
world which consider certain letters,
words and PHRASES rs being cursed and
the person who pronounces them c
worthy subject for immediate destruc-
ton. They attach no value 70 human
life, and to these ordinary dangers are
added those arising from the embar-
RAISING etiquette of conversational in
tcrcourse with them; for if anyone in
advertently speaks the word devil, "
Satan" or anything with the same
meaning he commits q mortal cfTense,
and TO cut off his head is God-plcas-
ing act. n sacred duty Of the Yezidee,
the fulfillment of which will insure him
place in paradise. In like manner
several letters are wholly banishcd
from their language. chiefly those
which contain the sound of "shun. "
The Arabian word nallct, "Thou art
damned" is also expunged because it
is believed by the Yczidees to have
been the word uttered by God when the
fallen angels were thrown into hell.
These and similar words and phrases
are set aside and combinations which
do not belong to any language used IN.
