Governor
A governor is an administrative leader and head of a polity or political region, ranking under the head of state and in some cases, such as governors-general, as the head of state's official representative. Depending on the type of political region or polity, a ''governor'' may be either appointed or elected, and the governor's powers can vary significantly, depending on the public laws in place locally. The adjective pertaining to a governor is gubernatorial, from the Latin root ''gubernare''. Ancient empires Pre-Roman empires Though the legal and administrative framework of provinces, each administrated by a governor, was created by the Romans, the term ''governor'' has been a convenient term for historians to describe similar systems in antiquity. Indeed, many regions of the pre-Roman antiquity were ultimately replaced by Roman 'standardized' provincial governments after their conquest by Rome. Plato used the metaphor of turning the Ship of State with a rudder; the Latin ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Gaalje'el
The Gaalje'el ( so, Gaaljecel), ( it, Galgial), ( ar, الجعل) Galjecel is one of the largest Somalia, Somali clans, whose origins trace back to Samaale. The Galje'el clan belong to the Saransoor, Saransor family of clans, alongside the Issa, Masare and Degodia. Etymology According to ''Ali Jimale,'' the etymology of the name Gaalje'el is from ''gaal,'' meaning camel and ''je'el'' meaning love: ''gaalje'el'' meaning "that which loves the camel". ''Gaal'' is the Maay language, Af May (Reewing, Reewin dialect) equivalent of ''Geel'' in Af Maḥa Tiri (the Maḥa Tiri dialect). Another etymology, which has recently gained steam, references the Ja'alin tribe, Jaalin tribe of Sudan.
