A term used to refer to someone with a nose piercing (stud). This particular hole located on the facial region, based above the exterior of the nasal cavity. It is often used as a favourable secondary organ to assist in the art of breathing when the stud is removed. This art is practised amongst the tribes or colonies with larger noses.
The Baneen is a subspecies of hawk that has an unusual hole on the side of it's nose. It can often be used as a hidden inferior breathing valve that involuntarily contracts and relaxes.
"My pet Baneen was not breathingyesterday. Why isn't it dead?"
"Don't be silly Helga, it was using its hidden breathing valve."
A once common name meaning "mother of all sons." This name was often given to daughters in poor families, where sons were preferred. Over time the name Baneen has become less popular, as it is commonly misinterpreted as "one with many partners."
The Baneen is the spirit of a whirlwind, who takes the form of a Hawk. In Indian mythology, to fend off the whirlwind, you have to throw a knife directly at it's heart. This will kill the Baneen.
Child, that whirlwind is cause by the evil Baneen spirit. Only when it is killed will this horror end.
