Title: Stories told by Fekadu Tegegn

Description: In this session, Fekadu Tegegn tells 4 stories, of which the first three are probably recent adaptations of Amharic stories. This first one (LS100633.wav) is the story of Dägul Əras and Kuful Əras - the main characters have Amharic names. The second recording (LS100634.wav) is the story of a woman and her 7 children. The third recording (LS100635.wav) the story of a cheater -it seems that this story does not follow the other trickster stories in this Baskeet deposit. Finally, the fourth recording of the present session (LS100636.wav) is a trickster story with Zugga as its main character - a popular story type in Baskeet. Other Zugga stories are found in LS100580.wav (session CAN2009-03-29), LS100021.wav (session WON2008-09-25_01), LS100063.wav (session KAD2008-10-03), LS100259.wav and LS100260.wav (session MEN2008-10-30), LS100313.wav (session ARE2008-11-10) and LS100489.wav (session DS2009-03-06) as well as DM2011-12-28_001.wav. In the present story, the character outwitted by Zugga are Shasha and Shasha's mother.

Description: Baskeet is spoken by around 60,000 speakers at the fringes of the Ethiopian highlands in the Southern Nations, Nationalities and Peoples' Region of Ethiopia. It is an Omotic language. This collection will focus on the linguistic and ethnographic documentation of endangered literary genres in Baskeet, namely songs, poems, prayers and ceremonial speech, which are being abandoned in the course of rapid socio-cultural changes. The collection will include, firstly, a multi-media documentation (text, audio, video) of these culturally emblematic endangered domains and, secondly, form a contribution to longer-range extensive documentation of Baskeet, with a dictionary at its core.
