What reading level is Kinship & Marriage in Early Arabia book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
Chester's collection it is figured along with the star and dove, symbols of Ashtoreth. Ibn al-Mojawir (Sprenger, Post-Routen, p. 151) speaks of a S. Arab tribe called B. Harith or 'Acarib, among whom if a dead gazelle was found it was solemnly buried, and the whole tribe mourned for it seven days. Whether the sacred animal is only the gazelle (as at the Ka'ba), or also the bovine antelope, it is not easy to say.^ But the bovine antelope supplies stock-names in other forms. La'y b. Adbat (L.
16)... is the same with the Taimite Lo'ayy (J. 12), for it was Adbat who delivered the Taim from their Yemenite captivity (see Additional Note A, p. 286), and this there- fore must be the name of a clan. The Hebrew Leah and Levi have the same root.^ The sacred stags that accompany the sacred wild -goats in Arrian, 7 zo, are probably large antelopes of some kind. Ibn Doraid, p. 187, makes B. Bohtha mean "sons of fornication." This is certainly not primitive, but is easily explained if the great antelope was sacred to the goddess of unmarried love, at whose shrine women, whom the Arabs constantly compare to antelopes, prostituted themselves.
