Note 208 — TALE OF HARUN AL-RASHID AND ABDULLAH BIN NAFI’.[131]
Richard Francis Burton translation · Edition 2
Arab. “Arja’” lit. return! but here meaning to stop. It is much used by donkeyboys from Cairo to Fez in the sense of “Get out of the way.” Hence the Spanish arre! which gave rise to arriero = a carrier, a muleteer.
