Note 196 — Chapter XIX · THE SAKER[196] FALCON (F. Cherrug)
D. C. (Douglas Craven) Phillott translation
Ṣaqar (sometimes pronounced ṣagar or ṣag͟har) is one of the names by which this falcon (F. Sacer of Jerdon and F. cherrug of Blanford) is known to the Arabs. Possibly the word ṣaqar is by Arabs applied to other falcons also.
