_Pipkin_--_Gharâ_, the common round earthen pot of India,
known to Anglo-Indians as 'chatty' (_châtî_).
_Quarts of milk_--The vernacular word was _ser_, a weight of
2 lbs.; natives always measure liquids by weight, not by capacity.
_Wild plum-tree_--_Ber_, several trees go by this name, but
the species usually meant are (1) the _Zizyphus jujuba_, which is
generally a garden tree bearing large plum-like fruit: this is the
_Pomum adami_ of Marco Polo; (2) the _Zizyphus nummularia_,
often confounded with the camel-thorn, a valuable bush used for
hedges, bearing a small edible fruit. The former is probably meant
here.--See Stewart's _Punjab Plants_, pp. 43-44.
_Millet_--_Pennisetum italicum_, a very small grain.
_Green plums I sell_, _etc_.--The words are--
_Gaderî gader! gaderî gader!
Râjâ dî betî chûhâ le giâ gher._
Green fruit! green fruit!
The rat has encompassed the Râjâ's daughter.
_Stool_--Pîrhî, a small, low, square stool with a straight
upright back, used by native women.
_Stewpan-lid_--_Sarposh_, usually the iron or copper cover
used to cover _degchîs_ or cooking-pots.
