Note 198 — THE LOVES OF AL-HAYFA AND YUSUF.[177]
Richard Francis Burton translation · Edition 2
[Here the translator seems to read “Khams Ghaffár,” = five pardoners, where however, grammar requires a plural after “khams.” I take “khams” to be a clerical error for “Khamr” = wine, and read the next word “’ukár,” which is another name for wine, but is also used adjectively together with the former, as in the Breslau Edition iv. 6: “al-Khamr al-’ukár” = choice wine.—St.]
