Allamaraine

Allamaraine was a Wadi term used in their game of Chula.
When Quark was playing the game in 2369, one of the results of his rolling of the dice was announced as "Allamaraine." The players within the game, Dr. Bashir, Sisko, Kira, and Dax encountered a room with a young girl playing a hopscotch-like game, and singing a rhyme:
:"Allamaraine, count to four,
:Allamaraine, then three more,
:Allamaraine, if you can see,
:Allamaraine, you'll come with me…"
The rhyme and movements of the girl was the key to passing through force fields in the room. When all were through, the girl announced "Allamaraine! Third shap!" and the players moved forward to the next level in the game. ()
In 2381, Lieutenant jg Beckett Mariner misquoted the rhyme as "allamalay lemon meringue." ()
