Note 11 — THE HISTORY OF THE KING’S SON OF SIND AND THE LADY FATIMAH.[3]
Richard Francis Burton translation · Edition 2
In text “Lam yanúb al-Wáhidu min-hum nisf haffán.” [I cannot explain this sentence satisfactory to myself, but by inserting “illá” after “min-hum.” Further I would read “nassaf” = libavit, delibavit, degustavit (Dozy, Suppl. s. v.) and “Hifán,” pl. of “Hafnah” = handful, mouthful, small quantity, translating accordingly: “and none took his turn without sipping a few laps.”—St.]
