Sarra man raa) ob. A.D. 868; Ibn Makúla (murdered in A.D. 862?); Ibn
Durayd (ob. A.D. 933); Al-Zahr the Poet (ob. A.D. 963); Abu Bakr
al-Zubaydi (ob. A.D. 989); Kábús ibn Wushmaghir (murdered in A.D.
1012–13); Ibn Nabatah the Poet (ob. A.D. 1015); Ibn al-Sa’ati (ob.
A.D. 1028); Ibn Zaydun al-Andalusi who died at Hums (Emessa, the Arab
name for Seville) in A.D. 1071; Al-Mu’tasim ibn Sumadih (ob. A.D.
1091); Al-Murtaza ibn al-Shahrozuri the Sufi (ob. A.D. 1117); Ibn Sara
al-Shantaráni (of Santarem) who sang of Hind and died A.D. 1123; Ibn
al-Kházin (ob. A.D. 1124); Ibn Kalakis (ob. A.D. 1172); Ibn al-Ta’wizi

A.D. 1249); Muwaffak al-Din Muzaffar (ob. A.D. 1266) and sundry
others. Notices of Al-Utayyah (vol. i. 11), of Ibn al-Sumám (vol. i.
87) and of Ibn Sáhib al-Ishbíli, of Seville, (vol. i. 100) are
deficient. The most notable point in Arabic verse is its savage
satire, the language of excited “destructiveness” which characterises
the Badawi: he is “keen for satire as a thirsty man for water;” and
half his poetry seems to consist of foul innuendo, of lampoons, and of
gross personal abuse.
Footnote 449:
If the letter preceding Wáw or Yá is moved by Fathah, they produce the
diphthongs au (aw), pronounced like ou in “bout,” and ai, pronounced
as i in “bite.”
Footnote 450:
For the explanation of this name and those of the following terms, see
Terminal Essay, p. 261.
Footnote 451:
This Fásilah is more accurately called sughrà, the smaller one; there
is another Fásilah kubrà, the greater, consisting of four moved
letters followed by a quiescent, or of a Sabab sakíl followed by a
Watad majmú’. But it occurs only as a variation of a normal foot, not
as an integral element in its composition, and consequently no mention
of it was needed in the text.
Footnote 452:
It is important to keep in mind that the seemingly identical feet 10
and 6, 7 and 3, are distinguished by the relative positions of the
constituting elements in either pair. For as it will be seen, that
Sabab and Watad are subject to _different_ kinds of alterations, it is
evident that the effect of such alteration upon a foot will vary, if
Sabab and Watad occupy _different_ places with regard to each other.
Footnote 453:
_i.e._ vertical to the circumference.
Footnote 454:
This would be a Fásilah kubrà spoken of in the note p. 278.
Footnote 455:
In pause that is at the end of a line, a short vowel counts either as
long or is dropped, according to the exigencies of the metre. In the
Hashw the u or i of the pronominal affix for the third person sing.
masc., and the final u of the enlarged pronominal plural forms, humu
and kumu may be either short or long, according to the same
exigencies. The end-vowel of the pronoun of the first person aná, I,
is generally read short, although it is written with Alif.
Footnote 456:
On p. 275 the word akámú, as read by itself, was identified with the
foot Fa’úlun. Here it must be read together with the following
syllable as “akámulwaj,” which is Mafá’ílun.
Footnote 457:
Prof. Palmer, p. 328 of his Grammar, identifies this form of the
Wáfir, when every Mufá’alatun of the Hashw has become Mafá’ílun, with
the second form of the Rajaz. It should be Hazaj. Professor Palmer was
misled, it seems, by an evident misprint in one of his authorities,
the Muhít al-Dáirah by Dr. Van Dayk, p. 52.

Appendix
MEMORANDUM.
I make no apology for the number and extent of bibliographical and other
lists given in this Appendix: they may cumber the book but they are
necessary to complete my design. This has been to supply throughout the
ten volumes the young Arabist and student of Orientalism and
Anthropology with such assistance as I can render him; and it is my
conviction that if with the aid of this version he will master the
original text of the “Thousand Nights and a Night,” he will find himself
at home amongst educated men in Egypt and Syria, Najd and Mesopotamia
and be able to converse with them like a gentleman; not, as too often
happens in Anglo-India, like a “Ghoráwálá” (groom). With this object he
will learn by heart what instinct and inclination suggest of the
proverbs and instances, the verses, the jeux d’esprit and especially the
Koranic citations scattered about the text; and my indices will enable
him to hunt up the tale or the verses which he may require for quotation
even when writing an ordinary letter to a “native” correspondent. Thus
he will be spared the wasted labour of wading through volumes in order
to pick up a line.
The following is the list of Indices:—
APPENDIX I.
I. Index to the Tales in the ten Volumes.
II. Alphabetical Table of the Notes (Anthropological, etc.) prepared
by F. Steingass, Ph.D.
III. Alphabetical Table of First Lines (metrical portion) in English
and Arabic, prepared by Dr. Steingass.
IV. Tables of Contents of the various Arabic texts.
A. The Unfinished Calcutta Edition (1814–18).
B. The Breslau Text (1825–43) from Mr. Payne’s Version.
C. The Macnaghten or Turner-Macan Text (A.D. 1839–42), and the
Bulak Edition (A.H. 1251 = A.D. 1835–36), from Mr. Payne’s
Version.
D. The same with Mr. Lane’s and my Version.
APPENDIX II.
Contributions to the Bibliography of the Thousand and One Nights,
and their Imitations, with a Table shewing the contents of the
principal editions and translations of the Nights. By W. F. Kirby,
Author of “Ed-Dimiryaht, an Oriental Romance;” “The New Arabian
Nights,” &c.
