A shouter in the desert
-Arabic proverb
Better than to shout in the desert is to Whisper, Washwash, and engage in what the Egyptian Colloquial Dictionary calls ‘ilm al-Washwāsh, the Science of Whispering, A Form of Psychomancy Based on Whispering to Spirits, or to camels, as tribesmen from Darfur do in order to couch them, saying Sh-Sh-Sh-Sh.
