This is called Bimi

Bimi in Berber means: the one with the mouth.It is an idiom in Berber. When somebody is very greedy or somebody who keeps eating insatiably, he/she is called Bimi. When one traces the word 'Immi'(=mouth) in Berber, one finds alot resemblenses between Greek Mythology and Berber Mythology. One of these similarities is the following:We all know how Cronus (the god of sky, season, time) swallowed his children. So, in berber, when people want to get rid of something they say swallow it; or when somebody is greedy, the berbers say Abi Immi(= you with the big mouth) By the way, women used to wear Bimi in particular times; today, everything seems to lose its context, but still there are some mnifestations of the origin of the Berber jewels. Every Ornament or dress has its context. For instance, Bimi is worn in particular times of the year( there is a similarity between Bimi and Cronus: maybe this Relationship manifests itself in terms of time. For Cronus is the god of time, and Bimi was worn in certain times, supposedly)
