Tezerift...
...a daughter of Afelahlah and Tiwul. I like little Mouna (Aslam X Semteende) standing there beside her...she always has to act like she is one of the adults. The name Tezerift comes from the Tamasheq word azeraf/ezerif, and is made feminine by beginning and ending the base word with 't'. Ezerif/ezzeref is a word used to descibe the color of camels....those camels having a "metallic" cast to their hair. As a newborn Tezerift was the color of pewter. Hence the name choice.
