"sakubis" fabric [light white cotton fabric] Explanation: Hi there, i looked it so thoroughly but i couldn't find any matching equivalent term and as it's a specific cultural term it's likely that you will not find 100% English term so the safest course here is to render it to the English sound from like "hijab", " tobe", "thobe "or "jallabiyah" with a little elaboration between brackets "sakubis" fabric [light white cotton fabric] Feel free to check references links http://www.sudaneseonline.com/cgi-bin/sdb/2bb.cgi?seq=msg&bo... http://nisaaelsudan.montadalhilal.com/t159-topic http://www.drmoiz.com/board/viewtopic.php?f=62&t=65434&start... http://www.sudaneseeconomist.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=4... http://www.brandeis.edu/projects/sudan_center/materialcultur... http://www.ehow.com/about_5448900_types-clothes-do-wear-suda... http://www.everyculture.com/Sa-Th/Sudan.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Culture_of_Sudan#Clothing Hopefully that would be of any help :) |
