Note 509 — Chapter V · THE MOST PROMINENT FIGURES IN HEBREW MYTHOLOGY. (continued 2)
R. (Russell) Martineau translation
On the Arabic proper name Ḥimâr, Yâḳût, II. 362, may be consulted; cf. Ibn Dureyd, Kitâb al-ishtiḳâḳ, p. 4. The Arabic proper name Misḥal is also connected with the Ass; it alludes to the screeching of the wild-ass; see Tebrîzî’s Scholia to the Ḥamâsâ, p. 200 penult. Compare al-Meydânî, II. 98: akfar min Ḥimâr.
