Legend has it that the name Sabiji came about because the founder of Sabiji Amdalai Demba was asked by a fortune teller to run after his sheep and settle whereever the ship was caught. Sabiji literally means the "the Sheep (Sajiyo) is there". Sabiji was at or near present day Bakoteh. The same legend said that there was a big fire in Sabiji presumably years after it was settled and Amlai Demba and his kin moved to present day Sukuta which means new home in Mandinka. However peolple continue to use the names interchangeably. nyancho native sukutan __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Tired of spam? Yahoo!
