For the etymology of Julnár—Byron’s “Gulnare”—see vol. vii. 268. Here the rhymer seems to refer to its origin; Gul (Arab. Jul) in Persian a rose; and Anár, a pomegranate, which in Arabic becomes Nár = fire. Footnote 198: _i.e._ “The brilliant”, the enlightened. Footnote 199: _i.e._ the moral beauty. Footnote 200: A phenomenon well known to spiritualists and to “The House and the Haunter.” An old Dutch factory near Hungarian Fiume is famed for this mode of “obsession”: the inmates hear the sound of footfalls, etc., behind them, especially upon the stairs, and see nothing. Footnote 201: The two short Koranic chapters, The Daybreak (cxiii.) and The Men (cxiv. and last) evidently so called from the words which occur in both (versets i., “I take refuge with”). These “Ma’úzatáni”, as they called, are recited as talismans or preventives against evil, and are worn as amulets inscribed on parchment; they are also often used in the five canonical prayers. I have translated them in vol. iii. 222. Footnote 202: The antistes or fugleman at prayer who leads off the orisons of the congregation; and applied to the Caliph as the head of the faith. See vol. ii. 203 and iv. 111. Footnote 203: Arab. “’Ummár” _i.e._ the Jinn, the “spiritual creatures” which walk this earth, and other non-humans who occupy it. Footnote 204: A parallel to this bodiless Head is the Giant Face, which appears to travellers (who expect it) in the Lower Valley of the Indus. See Sind Re-visited, ii. 155. Footnote 205: Arab. “Ghalílí” = my yearning. Footnote 206: Arab. “Ahbábu-ná” plur. for singular = my beloved. Footnote 207: _i.e._ her return. Footnote 208: Arab. “Arja’” lit. return! but here meaning to stop. It is much used by donkeyboys from Cairo to Fez in the sense of “Get out of the way.” Hence the Spanish arre! which gave rise to arriero = a carrier, a muleteer. Footnote 209: Arab. “Afras” lit. = a better horseman. Footnote 210: A somewhat crippled quotation from Koran lvi. 87–88, “As for him who is of those brought near unto Allah, there shall be for him easance and basil and a Garden of Delights (Na’ím).” Footnote 211: _i.e._ Queen Sunbeam. Footnote 212: See vol. i. 310 for this compound perfume which contains musk, ambergris and other essences. Footnote 213: I can hardly see the sequence of this or what the carpets have to do here. Footnote 214: Here, as before, some insertion has been found necessary. Footnote 215: Arab. “Dukhúlak” lit. = thy entering, entrance, becoming familiar. Footnote 216: Or “And in this there shall be to thee great honour over all the Jinn.” Footnote 217: Mr. Payne thus amends the text, “How loathly is yonder Genie Meimoun!
