Jelis usually accompany themselves on the kora, a type of harp/lute found in the Gambia, Senegal, Mali, Guinea, and Mauritania, or on the xalam, a one- to five-stringed small lutelike or banjolike plucked string instrument. The female counterpart to a jeli is called jelimuso.

Jeli fish 

Jeli fish, or rather known as jelly fish, is a very interesting organism, with a very excruciating tone of speech. This speech can sometimes be lame or ANVIous. All beware because this organism is well known of its LAIs. Don't be tricked by them.
