the second syllable) meaning broken. This is interpreted in the way the male dancers look down and
also the way the dancers move in steps. Others said it came from the word “sobli” meaning “salisi”or
the exchange of place which is a prominent feature of the dance.

blessings and the people’s belief that the cross has the power to ward off evil spirits. Subli is also a
play and is a long sequence of prayers in verse, songs and dances.During the dance, the ladies dance
