ABSTRACT
God, opposed to the tabarra ( -u), the avoidance of evil (Jacob, Die Bek tasckijje, p. 41 ). The conjunction of these two terms may explain the puzzle on p. 191 (n. 3) 8Upra, where tabran and tulan may be mistakes for tabarra and tawalla. Tawalli, ' t.he posseBBor of authority ', was a darvish poet who wrote some antique ilakiat or hymns entitled ' the jewels of knowledge '. Nothing is known of his life (Hammer-Purgstall, GdOD. ii. p. 391). It can hardly be for atiivil, ' eminent ' ?
