'Uzlah
Local administrative division of Yemen
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
'Uzlah (Arabic: عزÙØ©, plural 'Uzaal; Arabic: عزÙ) 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
In Arabic, the word 'uzlah means remoteness or loneliness.[3]
