Extract

The Anthology is a manuscript furnished by Dr. Sa'iīd, of Sina, to the British Museum, numbered Or. 6444; the writer is working from a photographic reproduction made for him in 1908 by order of Mr. A. G. Ellis.

The distance from the Oriental Department of the British Museum and absence of sufficient books of reference—this article is being written in Sulaimania, South Kurdistan—is a handicap on adequate comparison of words.

page 73 note 1 Nearly all writers on Kurmānjī give the derivation of māl as Ar māl, “property,” for which there is no reason. It would be curious at least that Kur, which does not borrow except to fill gaps in the language, should adopt a foreign word for the commonest object of life. The derivation is Av nmānn, Phl. mān.
