. "Selus \u2192 Italian. Selus is a generic name given to mancala games which are played on three-row boards. Apparently, the word derived from Geez selus which means \"three\". In 1971, Richard Pankhurst wrote an excellent 53-page article on Ethiopian mancala games, including games from Eritrea, Djibouti and Somalia. He gave the rules of 103 games, of which 12 were three-row games or \"Selus\". In the 1970s, Selus was still played in the highlands of Eritrea and in certain regions of modern Ethiopia, notably northern Tigre, Dorz\u00E9 and Kulu Konta. This particular variant was reported from the city of Massawa, Eritrea. It was described as Game 13 by Pankhurst."@en . "Selus"@en . . . "Selus \u2192 Italian.
