Note 44 — HISTORY OF AL-HAJJAJ BIN YUSUF AND THE YOUNG SAYYID.[42]
Richard Francis Burton translation · Edition 2
[The word here translated “invited guest” reads in the MS. “Mad’úr.” In this form it is no dictionary word, but under the root “D’r” I find in the Muhít: “wa ’l-’ámatu takúlu fulánun da’irun ya’ní ghalízun jáfin” = the common people say such a one is “da’ir,” i.e., rude, churlish. “Mad’úr” may be a synonym and rendered accordingly: as though thou wert a boor or clown.—St.]
