駝名考 : Hijun (競駝)の貴種名を中心に

概要

論文の詳細を見る
This essay is one of my results of semantic analysis of the proper names found among the Hijun (racing camels) which I have been investigating. Hijun, the plural of Hajin, being a local name only called in the Gulf countries, are kept and trained for the races competing their speed and endurance for the long distance more than five kilometers. During my field works of '88-'90,I intensively noted and collected those Hijun names, and made cards (name, owner, race-records, and anything worthy mentioning noted) totalling to around 1500. Using these cards and other corpus, I made some effort of drawing a way of folk thoughts and attitudes toward camels. Though so many characteristic points deserve to be mentioned, I conclude here four characterized features : 1 names derived from colours of their skin-hairs 2 names derived from personal names (or numbers) 3 names derived from speedy animals 4 names derived from allegories of any riding (or racing) special characters
