As a Kayitag (Russified Kaitag) group (Mountain Kayi) the Kayı tribe played a prominent role in the history of the Caucasus, and now the Kayitag language is classified as one of five dialects of the Kumyk language, which for ten centuries (10—19 cc.) was a lingua franca in the North Causacus. Kayitag principality was a leading component of the Shamkhalate of Kazi-Kumukh state on the Caspian western seaboard that in different forms lasted from the 8th to the 19th centuries. Kaitag textiles, stamped out under the Soviet rule, remain distinct in their artistry and workmanship.
Osman I, founder of Ottoman Empire was a hereditary leader in the Kayı tribe.
Chaque art particulier
rien n'est jamais donné
des cas particuliers sont á dissocier
toute chose reste infernal
ça ne vient pas du ciel
en toute lucidité
jamais la solution
Je n'ai que des questions
(N'est pas du ?"ciel?")
translation
Each particular art/talent
nothing is ever freely given
each particular case has to be disassociated
everything remains diabolical
it does not come from Heaven
in all lucidity
never the solution
I have nothing but questions
(Not from ?"Heaven"?)
