Note 356 — Chapter XXIX · TRAINING THE T̤ARLĀN OR PASSAGE GOSHAWK
D. C. (Douglas Craven) Phillott translation
Ṣarf kardan is properly “to eat,” but by it the author evidently means either to “put over,” or “to digest,” I do not know which. Qūsh gūsht-ash mī-shikanad P. and ʿat̤īn āpārir T. are the ordinary expressions for “the hawk is ‘putting over’.”
