翻訳と辞書　辞書検索 [ 開発暫定版 ] スポンサード リンク Popobawa ： ウィキペディア英語版 Popobawa Popobawa, also Popo Bawa, is the name of an evil spirit, or shetani,〔"(The Shetani Of Zanzibar )", Gemma Pitcher, in ''Zanzibar: The Bradt Travel Guide'', Sixth Edition 〕 which is believed by residents to have first appeared on the Tanzanian island of Pemba. In 1995, it was the focus of a major outbreak of mass hysteria or panic which spread from Pemba to Unguja, the main island of the Zanzibar archipelago, and across to Dar es Salaam and other urban centres on the East African coast. ==Meaning of the name== Popobawa is a Swahili name which translates literally as "bat-wing" (from Swahili ''popo'', "bat", and ''bawa'', "wing"). This name is said to have originated as a description of the dark shadow cast by the spirit when it attacks at night: it does not refer to the actual form of the spirit, which is liable to change. Swahili speakers also use a plural form of the name - ''mapopobawa'' - to refer to multiple manifestations of the feared spirit. This plural is anglicized as "Popobawas". 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Popobawa」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク 翻訳と辞書 : 翻訳のためのインターネットリソース Copyright(C) kotoba.ne.jp 1997-2016.
