hamsa
The Hamsa ((アラビア語:خمسة) ''Ḥamsah'', (ヘブライ語:חַמְסָה), also romanized khamsa), is a palm-shaped amulet popular throughout the Middle East and North Africa, and commonly used in jewelry and wall hangings.〔Bernasek et al., 2008, (p. 12 ).〕〔Sonbol, 2005, (pp. 355–359 ).〕 Depicting the open right hand, an image recognized and used as a sign of protection in many societies throughout history, the hamsa is believed to provide defense against the evil eye.
==Etymology==
Khamsa is an Arabic word that means "five", but also "the five fingers of the hand".〔Zenner, 1988, (p. 284 ).〕〔World Institute for Advanced Phenomenological Research and Learning (Belmont, Estados Unidos), 1991, (p. 219 ).〕〔Drazin, 2009, (p. 268 ).〕
It may also be taken as a reference to the primary number itself.
