Note 474 — THE FELLAH AND HIS WICKED WIFE.[467]
Richard Francis Burton translation · Edition 2
The cries of an itinerant pedlar hawking about woman’s wares. See Lane (M. E.) chapt. xiv. “Flfl’a” (a scribal error?) may be “Filfil” = pepper or palm-fibre. See Index, vol. v. p. 493, “Tutty,” in low-Lat. “Tutia,” probably from the Pers. “Tutiyah,” is protoxide of zinc, found native in Iranian lands, and much used as an eye-wash.
