What Does "Wel-Lika-Eth" really Mean?

In the following article, our new contributor Nebelibal Bekalu introduces us to what "wolqait" means and related issues that arise in regards to the identity of the native people.

So, to learn the hidden meaning of the word Wel-Lika-Eth please go here.

I thank Nebelibal for his contribution and I encourage others to follow his footsteps.

I am totally dumbfounded by the authors effort to give an unnecessary meaning to my beloved area " Wolkaiet". Probably I am one of the few individulas who got the opportunity to talk to the late respected wolkaiet shemageles,such as Kigazmache Terfe, Fitawerari Serebe, Dejamach Taye,and many others including my grand mother in the late 70's. I have never heard of these distinguished elders uttering such kind of fictitous meaning to our beloved area.I humbly request the author of the article to do some serious acadamic research rather than drawing a conclusion based on frail and unfounded anthropological assumptions.
