    According to Surinam Negro folk belief, how does one stop Azeman?

    Question #95376. Asked by BRY2K. (May 06 08 3:42 AM)

    		A name given to a female vampire or werewolf in Surinam Negro folk belief. She transforms from human to animal form at night and travels around drinking human blood. According to belief the best way to stop her is by sprinkling grains or seeds about, when seeing them she has a compulsion to stop to count them and gather them up. Another way of stopping her is by propping a broom, which she won't cross, against a door.

    Start with a ten letter word, remove one letter and rearrange, to get the next word, until you are left with a one letter word. If you get stuck on a word, try the next one and work back.
