Deutsch'Uzlah
'Uzlah (Arabic: عزلة, plural 'Uzaal; Arabic: عزل) is the name of a tier in Yemen's regional administrative divisions.[1] The 'uzlah was originally a sub-division of a mikhlaf, another type of administrative division. However, the mikhleef system is no longer used by the government so the 'uzlah is now an administrative sub-division of a district.[1][2]
Etymology
[edit]In Arabic, the word 'uzlah means remoteness or loneliness.[3]
