السؤال عن معنى سمة طابو تعبير عراقى

Explanation:
طابو is a Turkish term used to refer to عقد الملكية we still use it here in Palestine too يطوب الأرض (يسجل ملكيتها)، طابو (عقد ملكية) دائرة الطابو (دائرة تسجيل الملكية أو ما يعرف بالشهر العقاري)

I'm not sure if I got the meaning of سمة but if your text refers to something characterzing قرية جيمبك as I understood it, then your translation for طابو should stand for صبغة مميزة أو معلم (بفتح الميم، سكون العين، وفتح اللام), in that case it should be:

a characterizing stamp for J village
or : a distinguishing stamp for J village.

I think that طابو here is used to reflect the possessivness of this characterization or stamp

agree  neuneutek: It's land resgistrer in Turkish. (still in use there) The Turkish word is: Tapu. The word has got the meaning: sacred or prohibited. You know the English word Taboo? Very similarly and claimed to be a derivative of the Turkish Tapu.

tapu: land registrer, taboo, sacred , prohibited or title


Explanation:
The word is Turkish and I depend on this fact here. I know Turkish but I don't speak Iraki!! :) SO my note is mainly about the use of that word "Tapu" in Turkish and I hope it is similar enough to have the same meaning in Iraki.

Tapu holds the following three meanings in Turkish:
1- Tapu: the land registrer
2- sacred/prohibited and TABOO or TABU is the English word most probably borrowed from Turkish.
3- restriction

The sentence may go: and it\'s considered as a tabu attribute of the village of Cemik/Jemik.

I mean سمة طابو appears to mean: taboo/tabu attribute. That this village may have some sacred nature (especially religious)

I\'ve found that definition on a Turkish dictionary online:

Under religious or superstitious restriction; a condition affecting persons, places, and things, and from innumerable causes Beyond one’s power, inaccessible Ceremonial restriction, quality, or condition of being subject to some restriction . . sacred, prohibited; source for the word \'taboo\'

I hope it helps in a way. Does this go with your text?
