BOGOS, a pastoral race of mixed Hamitic descent, occupy ing the highlands immediately north of Abyssinia, now part of the Italian colony of Eritrea. The community is divided into two classes, the Shumaglieh or "elders" and Tigre or "clients." The latter are serfs of the former, who, however, cannot sell them. The Tigre goes with the land, and his master must protect him. In blood-money he is worth another Tigre or ninety-three cows, while an elder's life is valued at one hundred and fifty-eight cattle or one of his own caste. The eldest son of a Shumaglieh inherits his father's two-edged sword, white cows, lands and slaves, but the house goes to the youngest son. Female chastity is much valued, but women have no rights and inherit nothing. The Bogo husband never sees the face or pronounces the name of his mother-in-law, nor may a wife utter her husband's or father-in law's name.
