62 THE MODERN EGYPTIANS. [PART II.
Let us suppose (to make the description more simple)
that the person to whom belongs the row of beyts
A, B, C, &c, is circulating a single kelb : he moves
it through the two middle rows of beyts in the order
of the letters by which I have distinguished them,
from K to S, and from k to s ; and may then either
repeat the same round or enter his adversary's row,
as long as there is any kelb remaining in that row;
but in the latter case, he does not continue to circulate the same kelb, excepting under circumstances
which will be mentioned hereafter. Whenever a
throw, or any of two or more throws, which the
player has made enables him to move his kelb into
a beyt occupied by one of his opponent's kelbs, he
takes the latter. For instance, if one party has a
kelb in the beyt m, and the other has one in o, and
another in s, and the former has thrown tab (or one)
and then four, and then two, he may take the kelb
in o by the throw of two; then, by the throw of
four, take that in s ; and, by the throw of tab, pass
into a, and take a third kelb if it contain one. A
player may, by means of a suitable throw, or two or
more throws, move one of his kelbs into a beyt occupied by another of his own ; and these two together,
in like manner, he may add to a third, or he may add
a third to them : thus he may unite any number of his
own kelbs, and circulate them together, as if they were
but one; but he cannot divide them again, and play
with them separately, unless he throw tab. If he avail
himself of a throw which he has made to bring them
back into a row through which they have already passed
(either separately or together), they become reduced
