@rolocene @wayotworld it has been rebuilt properly now before being destroyed by floods in the rainy season, and there's another bridge: point being, the caption under the image was just false and second-order questions does not change that.

It would be expensive to repair this bridge and it might be broken again because of the flooding, so they just built a new bridge nearby. Left the broken bridge, right the new bridge. If you zoom out, you can see it's not an area with a lot of traffic.

geʽez is not a dead nor merely a static liturgical language like latin or koinḕ greek, the scholars (liqawənt) of the orthodox church compose poetry (qīne) in geʽez everyday. performed by a student who recites the poetry composed (sometimes improvised) by the liqə behind him.

most accurate comparison to the ��ረብ (wäräb), which is pre- or post-liturgical, is the sufi سَمَاع (samā‘). it's a ceremony where we repeatedly chant "ኣማን በኣማን" (ʾamān beʾamān). we start very slow, harmonious and gradually build up in pace until we reach a climax.
