      ويضعن على رؤوسهنّ تمائم من حبّ نبات يسمّى الشوش وهو حبّ صغير أحمر كالجُلَّنار وفي جانب كلّ حبّة منه نكتة سوداء وهذا الحبّ رؤيته مفرحة جدًّا وودع وفول وهذا الفول عندهم ذو ألوان منه ما هو أحمر ناصع الحمرة ومنه ما هو تِبْنيّ اللون ومنه ما هو أسود ومنه عسليّ فيثقبن الشوش والودع والفول وينظمن الشوش وحده تمائم لكن يجعلن في أسفل كلّ تميمة إمّا جلجلًا أو ودعة ويجعلنها عناقيد هكذا لكن يفصلن بين كلّ تعريجة بخرز أزرق.
      On their heads, the women place amulets made from the seeds of a plant called šūš—the seeds are small and red, like those of the pomegranate flower; each has a black spot on its side and they are very pleasing to the eye—as well as amulets made of shells and of beans. In their country, these beans are colored, some being bright red, some straw-colored, some black, some honey-colored. They bore a hole in the šūš, the shells, or the beans. They also make the šūš into amulets on their own, though they attach to the bottom of each amulet either a little bell or a shell, and make them into clusters, like this: However, they separate each pedicel from the next with a blue bead.
