Note 154 — NIGHT ADVENTURE OF HARUN AL-RASHID AND THE YOUTH MANJAB.[106]
Richard Francis Burton translation · Edition 2
In text “Tazaghzagha,” gen. = he spoke hesitatingly, he scoffed. [I read the words in the text: “Tazaghghara fíhi.” The Kámús gives “Zaghara-hu” = he seized it by force, he took hold of him with violence, and this present fifth form, although not given in the Dictionaries, has doubtlessly the same meaning. Popularly we may render it: he pitched into him.—St.]
