Note 113 — NIGHT ADVENTURE OF HARUN AL-RASHID AND THE YOUTH MANJAB.[106]
Richard Francis Burton translation · Edition 2
[In MS. “Rankah” or “Ranakah,” probably for “Raunakah,” which usually means “troubled,” speaking of water, but which, according to Schiaparelli’s Vocabulista, has also the meaning of “Raunak” = amenitas. As however “Ranakah” taken as fem. of “Ranak,” shares with Raunakah the signification of “troubled,” it may perhaps also be a parallel form to the latter in the second sense.—St.]
