Description:Gevriye tells us about an incident when a man was building a house and he asked the youth to help him with rolling a big stone to his house. 20 youth helped him rolling it for 100 metres and they had a break before rolling it another 50 metres to reach the house. A passing woman cast an evil eye on it by saying, why did you not make this big stone in four pieces before bringing it? The standing stone burst into pieces by itself.
The Beth Qustan dialect of the Central Neo-Aramaic, Turoyo, which is the language of Tur 'Abdin, South Eastern Turkey, with an estimated 20 families remaining in the village.This project will document socio-cultural practices of the Turoyo speaking community in Tur 'Abdin, focusing on vernacular tales, particularly those that demonstrate cultural interaction between Muslims and Christians, including Muslim visitations to the shrines of Christian saints, and consultation of soothsayers by Christians.
