Almessi – ⴰⵍⵎⴻⵙⵙⵉ -it’s a word of the house, from Tigmi, which means fireplace. There’s a fireplace, you’re inside the house. And so, by extension, it also refers to what is “in the house”, i.e. the family..
There’s also Afarnou – ⴰⴼⴰⵔⵏⵓ, the earthen oven where the bread that the Berbers love so much is baked, the delicious tafarnout – ⵜⴰⴼⴰⵔⵏⵓⵜ, which is to them what the croissant au beurre and café crème are to the French.
Tradition and modernity, the microwave oven is afarnou amikṛumdeswal, ⴰⴼⴰⵔⵏⵓ ⴰⵎⵉⴽRⵓⵎⴷⴻⵙⵡⴰⵍ …. only if you’re a purist !
Tradition and modernity, almessi is also a football player, and guess which one?
