Researching the Kabyles and the Iflisen (the group usually attributed as making the Flyssa) I found this.....battles with the Turks late 18thC -early 19thC ........are we back to the Yatagan 'relationship' ...it could explain why the Flyssa 'appeared' around that time

PS Interestingly the Celts had also settled central Turkey ...a long time ago but some local traditions seem to survive.
