b'd'rahman

Updated: May 11, 2025

Now was our time to send by Musaben to the camp of the sultans three very gay blankets for them and Abdullah-bin-Abdurrahman. The long name of the wazir's father had constantly to be on our lips on account of his dignity, for they are like the Russians in that respect common people's fathers are not mentioned. The name was marvellously shortened to B'd'rahman.
