 | | According to Reinhart Dozy, the word is derived from the Persian ï±ÅîÇÄ, "a leather bag, carried at the side, in which are kept utensils, papers, money, etc." See -1Supplement aux dictionnaires arabes-0, 3rd ed. |
 | | However, Dozy (-1Supplement-0, II: 811), cites Idrisi as using it to refer to transporting merchandise, thus putting a perplexing wrinkle in our interpretation. |
 | | With regard to money, however, it connotes paying or contributing; with regard to value, denigrating (Dozy, -1Supplement-0, I: 299-300). |
