%X According to the Druze notion of transmigration (taqammu£¿), whenever someone dies, his or her soul moves into the body of a newborn Druze of the same sex. While this makes the Druze feel that they belong together in a more fundamental way because they are ¡®born in each other¡¯s houses¡¯ (Oppenheimer), it is more ambivalent the moment children start to ¡®speak¡¯ about previous lives in another family. Allowing the ¡®return¡¯ of someone lost to death and potentially bringing two such houses in closer relation, ¡®speaking¡¯ also requires coming to terms with conflicting belonging
