Note 2809 — [APPENDICES TO THE HINDŪSTĀN SECTION.]
Annette Susannah Beveridge translation
It is not likely to be one heard current in Hindūstān, any more than is Bābur’s Ar. bū-qalamūn as a name of a bird (Index s.n.); both seem to be “book-words” and may be traced or known as he uses them in some ancient dictionary or book of travels originating outside Hindūstān.
