First he slowly entered the mark, then contemplated it with his head on one side, the mark must be artistic, closed the register, and asked with great sarcasm, "Abá, and why so, sir?" "Because I can't conceive, Padre, how one can be absent from the class and at the same time recite the lesson in it. Your Reverence is saying that to be is not to be."
"Sahib!" suddenly whispered Abbas behind him. Matthews turned, and saw in the doorway of the terrace a personage who could be none other than his host. In place of the kola of his people this personage wore a great white turban, touched with gold. The loose blue aba enveloping his ample figure was also embroidered with gold.
When leaving their houses, and walking to the market or gardens, a jereed or aba is thrown round them, and a red cap, or a neatly quilted cotton white one, completes the dress. On Fridays, they perhaps add a turban, and appear in yellow slippers.
Then I cast myself down flat upon my stomach, and I pressed the ground before the serpent with my forehead, saying, "I will describe thy power to the King, and I will make him to understand thy greatness. I will cause to be brought unto thee the unguent and spices called aba, and hekenu, and inteneb, and khasait, and the incense that is offered up in the temples, whereby every god is propitiated.
Voltaire picked up something from the ground and looked at it. "Kaffar's," he said. "Look, Mr. Blake; do you recognize this?" I looked and saw a finely-worked neckcloth, on which was written in Arabic characters the words "Aba Wady Kaffar."

As he spoke I saw his eyes travel towards Aba Wady Kaffar, and they exchanged glances; then he looked towards Miss Forrest, and again a look of intelligence passed between him and the Egyptian.

We had among them copper ore, black copper, and red copper; they pronounce their language very hollow, and deep in the throat; these words following we learned from them: Kesinyoh, eat some. Mysacoah, wash it. Madlycoyte, music. Lethicksaneg, a seal-skin. Aginyoh, go, fetch. Canyglow, kiss me. Yliaoute, I mean no harm. Ugnera, my son. Ponameg, a boat. Acu, shot. Conah, leap. Aba, fallen down.
"But suppose the plate is only broken into two or three pieces, then you earn very few," observed the obstinate Rufa. "Abá!" answered old Sipa. "I make them recite the prayers anyhow. Then I glue the pieces together again and so lose nothing." Sister Rufa had no more objections left. "Allow me to ask about a doubt of mine," said young Juana timidly.
Presently, where the pretty green Wady el-Suram falls into the left bank, we turned a corner, and sighted in front, or to the north, the great plain of Bada. The block, El-'Akabil, had projected a loop of some ten miles to be rounded, whereas a short cut across it would not have exceeded three. And now the Wady Aba Daumah abruptly changed formation.
In Manila, in a confectionery near the University much frequented by the students, the arrests were thus commented upon. "And have they arrested Tadeo?" asked the proprietess. "Abá!" answered a student who lived in Parian, "he's already shot!" "Shot! Nakú! He hasn't paid what he owes me." "Ay, don't mention that or you'll be taken for an accomplice.
