with an Arab and asked:—Q. "What is your name"? A.
"Matar [rain]" Q. "Your surname?" A.
"Ab-ul-ghayth [father of showers]." Q. "Your
father's name?" A. "Euphrates." Q. "Your
mother's name"? A. "Sahabah [cloud]." Q.
"Her sobriquet"? A. "Omm-ul-bahar [mother of the

your company."... (The Calcutta Review, v.68-69, 1879)
