Note 190 — THE PORTER AND THE THREE LADIES OF BAGHDAD.

Richard Francis Burton translation · Edition 2

This would be a separate building like our family tomb and probably domed, resembling that mentioned in "The King of the Black Islands." Europeans usually call it "a little Wali;" or, as they write it, "Wely;" the contained for the container; the "Santon" for the "Santon's tomb." I have noticed this curious confusion (which begins with Robinson, i. 322) in "Unexplored Syria," i. 161.

Explore with AITake your curiosity a little further.
