Noun. [B1]

Examples

“Now perform⟳ the religious ceremonies; array me in new and delicate cloathing; perfume me with coſtly eſſences; and, having placed me and the phyſician in a mohaffa,ᶜ throw⟳ over it an embroidered covering.”

“In addition, imagine⟳ them to desire three riding horses, for which two extra camels would be needed to carry⟳ food and water; and a mohaffa camel, on which two men might be carried simultaneously, in panniers slung on either side of the animal. Half a dozen spare⟳ camels would have⟳ be taken along, in case some of those laden were to sicken or die⟳, as well as an extra mohaffa camel—since, on account of the necessity of having a balanced load⟳, the double⟳ mohaffa could never be divided between two camels.”
