Note 245 — THE TALE OF THE KAZI AND THE BHANG-EATER.[224]
Richard Francis Burton translation · Edition 2
Arab. “Húrí” for “Húr” = a pool, marsh, or quagmire, in fact corresponding with our vulgar “bogshop.” Dr. Steingass would read “Haurí,” a “mansúb” of “Haur” = pond, quagmire, which, in connection with a Hammam, may = sink, sewer, etc.
