The Bābur-nāma in English (Memoirs of Bābur)

Note 1216 — SECTION II. KĀBUL666 (continued 3)

Annette Susannah Beveridge translation

Ākā or Āgā is used of elder relations; a yīnkā or yīngā is the wife of an uncle or elder brother; here it represents the widow of Bābur’s uncle Aḥmad Mīrān-shāhī. From it is formed the word yīnkālīk, levirate.
