Note 313 — THE TALE OF THE KAZI AND THE BHANG-EATER.[224] (continued 2)

[The MS. has “yughaffiru wa yuzaghdimu.” The former stands probably for “yu’affíru,” for which see supra p. 262, note 2. The writing is, however, so indistinct that possibly “yufaghghiru” is intended, which means he opened his mouth wide. “Yuzaghdimu” is one of those quadriliterals which are formed by blending two tri-literals in one verb, in order to intensify the idea. “Zaghada” and “Zaghama” mean both “he roared,” more especially applied to a camel, and by joining the “d” of the one with the “m” of the other, we obtain “Zaghdama,” he roared fiercely.—St.]
