Note 42 — THE SAY OF HAYKAR THE SAGE.[6]

Richard Francis Burton translation · Edition 2

The wife (in p. 155, “Ashghaftíní”) is called “Thou hast enamoured me” from the root “Shaghaf” = violent love, joy, grief. Chavis has Zefagnie: Gauttier suppresses the name, which is not pretty. In the old version she is made aunt (father’s sister) to Sankharib.
