		In November 2005, DNO arrived in the Kurdish city of Zakho, 160 kilometres (100 miles) northwest of Irbil on the Turkish border, to begin work on an oilfield.
		When DNO struck oil at Zakho's Tawke-1 well on 22 December, it was like a national holiday, eliciting a feeling of ecstasy as primordial and pure as that of Daddy Yankee's female interlocutor, who begs him for more gasoline.
		While she might consider the pleasure of gasoline as an end in itself, the Kurds, thinking strategically, believe their oil wealth will eventually purchase them nationhood.

		The version of the Pentateuch presented in these volumes is in the dialect of the Jews of Zakho (Northern Iraq), which is the native language of the editor, Yona Sabar.
		In addition to the full text of the book of Numbers, Sabar also supplies an introduction that examines the structure and background of the Zakho neo-Aramaic version, appendices containing extracts from versions of Numbers in the neo-Aramaic dialects of the Jews and Christians of Urmia (Iranian Kurdistan) and finally a comparative and etymological glossary.
		There is still no full grammatical description of the neo-Aramaic dialect of the Jews of Zakho, either of the language of the traditional oral literature or of the vernacular language spoken by survivors of the community today, which differs from the language of the oral Bible versions in some respects.

		I wandered around Zakho for an hour with backpack on, talked to a hotel owner who gave me tea and told me the history of kudistan and helped me change money, and caught a shared taxi to Dohuk (5 dinar).
		Next morning I poked around the impressive market/bazaar, where one could easily spend a few hours just looking at stuff and people, and took the shared taxi back to Zakho, and then crossed back into Turkey, on a cigarette smuggling taxi (I was unaware of this, but it's the norm).
