relinquished the expression of their native idiom, and generally make
use of the Arab term “míye.”]
[Footnote 25: I am a little uncertain, at present, whether this is the
old residence, or the Gámmazak near Wúshek.]
[Footnote 26: This territory comprises the following villages:—
Farilkaia, Górebí, Mataráwa, Tsamaiku, Kachébaré, Yáka, and Báda.
The greater part of the inhabitants already belong to the Háusa
race, or, as the Kanúri say, “Áfunú.”]

Badamúni, four villages, all situated towards the north, their names
being as follows:—Jíshwa, Koikám, Zermó, and Jígaw.]
[Footnote 29: See Vol. I. p. 185.]

dollars; but there were among the number forty pieces of five francs,
and more than one hundred Turkish mejidíye.]
