mallam

We also paid a few visits to local notables, chief amongst whom is the Mallam Mohammed.

This particular Mallam struck me as being absolutely the finest-looking native I had seen during our trip.

They found here Mallam Dendow, a cousin of Bello, very old and feeble.

As she looked, Dora passed by, and broad-shouldered young Mallam with her.

She thought Dora must be charming, since Mallam was in love with her.
