abstract	Tegre, also spelled Tegré, is played by the Dorzé people in Ethiopia. It is exclusively played by males The Dorze are a small ethnic group in Ethiopia who speak a language in the Omotic family. Numbering approximately 28,000, they live primarily in the south of the country, though some have migrated to Addis Ababa and other regions. Tegre was first described by Richard Pankhurst in 1971 whose informants were Adan Napa, Tobé Tosebi, Demissie Toti, and Haile Gabriel Demissie. It was also observed by the American anthropologist Judy Olmstead. She was told that the game is called Tegre because "it is a pastime of the caste of that name, which supposedly descended from immigrants from Tigre province".
