179. _I dress (?) a goat_, agerassăragh tāghat.

_I draw back his neck_, semelwagh-as.

_I cut his throat_, agerássagh-as.

_I skin him_, óshegh-at.

[Note: _Igharsa_, he cut the throat (Shilha); _agharās_, or _emgharās_,

a butcher, Ghad. But Venture gives _aghzār_ for butcher, which points

out a relation to Arab. _jezzār_. Observe that _agharās_ is “a road” in

Delaporte’s Kab. and Ibrahím’s Shilha. [I suspect that _agerássaragh_

should be _agherásagh-ak_, I butcher for thee.]

_Semelluagh_ would seem related to _emelëagh_, I castrate (120.), if the

sense agreed better.

_Oshe_, skin thou, is for _oze_; in Kab. _uz_ or _azu_.]
