Talk:Pokot
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Unsourced info from Suk tribe:
- The word "Suk", as used to refer to the Pokot tribe, it was a result of English colonial visitors to the area now in northwest Kenya, who asked residents to tell them their name.
- From caution, not wanting to give a stranger a personal name that might give them some power over them, each person asked would respond, "My name is Msuk", which, in Pokot means, "log" or "large felled tree".
- The English, hearing this name again and again, applied it to all residents of the Pokot region.
