Motif and place

We carry the name. We do not claim the story.

Silbûs û Tarî comes from the names given to two mountains in the region. The brand carries those names; it does not publish the story attached to them without a verified source.

If you name a brand after two mountains, people reasonably expect you to tell the story behind them. For now, we are not going to.

The reason is simple. Accounts like this do not sit still as a single correct text. They change from one teller to the next, and they shift depending on which language you hear them in. Taking the first version you find online and printing it next to a product would be speaking on behalf of the people who actually carry it.

What we want to do instead is work from sources in the region, from recorded collections, and where possible from the people telling it. Until then this page stays with the name itself.
