Note 1 — The Aet-kanda Lēniyā1

H. (Henry) Parker translation

Also written Lihiniyā, “the Glider,” a name applied to some hawks and swallows, etc. The whole name is “Tusk-Elephant-Mountain Hawk,” or Eagle. I could learn nothing of the “Tusk-Elephant Mountain.” This bird is the Rukh or Roc of the Arabian Nights. ↑
