nissen.

_I lay ambush_, nek estĕdaf.

ikétĕnes har amós shynd ákal.

_Terērt_, tribe: also, a cup! (Is a tribe _Ṭerīght_ = _Ṭarīḳet_?)

_Estédaf_, Arab. 8th form? _Esdef_, obscura fuit nox, Golius.

_Aghĕrim_, town. _Ikétĕnes_, all of it.— [_Some_ of it,—or, _much_ of

it, one might have judged. But Barth is positive and consistent.]

_Har amós_, until it becomes?]

144. _I draw my sword from the scabbard_, erkăbagh takobāni dagar

_Isindar_, he threw down? Yet _indar_, he refused (112.), and _ennādir_,

often. Rather _asindaragh_ is for _asintarakgh_, from root _iṭarak_, he

fell (71.); or for _asintaragh_, from _iṭar_, he went down, which is

Temght as well as Kabáíl.]
