Hi Tienus,

I know, I read it. And I know what the meaning is. But I meant the arabic part Asma quoted. That must tell where this expression comes from. I don't know enough Arabic to understand what she wrote.

See you around,
Nadine

Ok ok

So, if you want to know what the arabic part means, maybe a moderator can move the text in an arabic translation forum on this website

Maybe someone could translate it to others

Hi Nadine ... I quoted from what asma posted what is believed to be the origin of this habit ... it says in case you did not understand what is written :

The origin of this belief is that some peasant in Europe - during Medieval centuries - believed that evil spirits used to inhabit deep inside the trees and stays there, even after cutting it and forming it into furniture and doors .. etsc. and when tapping the wood , the evil spirit would run away, although it would comeback after a while" ...

this is what asma wrote quting from a book .. the titile of the book is * the killing eyes" ...

I hope no one of you would be looked at with a killing eyes hehe

Nadine

شكرا يا ناني
