The great thing about this tale is that just about every character's named, and their names don't change (much) in retellings.

---

So, I know what Ali, Abdullah (Abdallah), Mustafa (Mustapha), Hassan, and of course Cassim (Qasim) mean. What about the rest?

---

Morgiana (f) (sometimes spelled Morgana in retellings)
Baba (m) (actually appears twice in the tale--Baba Mustafa's the other character)
Cogia (m) (1/2 of Cogia Hassan in the tale)

---

I'm especially interested in Morgiana, since she's such an interesting, intelligent, and feminist character.
