I like colors! I want a color! :DDD Also what are the actual objects referred to in 7? What is a zil (besides obviously related to bellydancing in some way)?
How about gold? Continuing on the precious metal trend, hehehe....
A zil is a finger-cymbal. They come in 2 (adult) sizes, and are commonly either silver or gold in color. The rim is the outer edge of the zil. When new, the zils slope gently down and out (s-curve) to meet in a flat ring when you put two face to face. M's zils are worn, so the rim curls away, and tips back upward (sinusoid).
I feel so educated now! I think my mom used to have some of those around the house from a bazillion years ago when she either took a bellydance class or knew someone who did it..? I have no idea, but finger cymbals sound very familiar. Off to meme!
