"A human being by birth, but in some part resembling a lower animal. A monster hath no inheritable blood and cannot be heir to any land"

Whirling dervishes divide their bodies in half with a belt called “elifi nemed”. With this distinction, the traits that are common to animals remain in the bottom portion of the belt, and the characterisitics that distiguish human beings such as heart, soul and intellect remain in the upper part of the belt.
