abstract:
Laki is a Northwest Iranian language spoken by both settled and nomadic people in the area of west Iran unofficially known as Lakestān, wedged between the Kurdish and Lori ethnolinguistic continua. This paper presents a popular legend in the Kākāvandi variety of Laki, giving an interesting insight into folk beliefs and practices related to the emāmzāde of Šāhzāde Moḥammad, a shrine located in the rural village of Darb-e Gonbad (Northern Lorestān). The text is accompanied by concise dialectological and lexical notes.
