Last post I commented on the words used to describe the Saudi coalition as heard by me on Houthi countroled radio. I am very late in getting this next post out - how these same radio stations describe Yemeni people.
Here are just three. There are plenty more but these are some I want to mention.
1. Sha'ab al-Yemeni al-Atheem. This is standard, all polititions and anyone addressing the populace uses this to start the speech. "ya ayoohal sha'ab al'Yemeni al-atheem" means "O great Yemeni People. The same term 'atheem' has been used constantly on local radio. Every now and again the presenter has said "ya ayoohal sha'ab al-Yemeni al-Aseel", which means O original and noble Yemeni People. I mentioned in the previous post that the concept of nobility and cultural superiority of Yemenis to Saudis has been exploited in the Houthi net programs.
2. Samidoon. plural samid, to be resistant. One of Allah's names isa al-Samad which means everlasting. But for duniya purposes the word means to be resistant. The Yemenis of all camps use this term when expressing their determination to stay in Yemen and keep on keeping on.
3. Shamookh. Head and shoulders above the rest. This word was first heard during the time of the first heavy bombardments of Fajj Attan in Sanaa. The word when out of popularity momentarily and then was thrust back into the limelight as the bombardments and high casualties of the Nuqm Mountain unfolded. Nuqm is indeed Shamookh.
