Amongst the Southern Slavs the cuckoo is supposed to be the sister of a murdered man ever calling or vengeance. They will be repeatedly mentioned in The Nights and notes. "Amtar"; plur. of "Matr," a large vessel of leather or wood for water, etc. In the Romance of "Antar" Asafir camels are beasts that fly like birds in fleetness.

He was her tamer now: and as he spoke soothingly and she grew quieter, a new faith awoke in her, yet a faith as old as woman; the false imperishable faith that by giving all she binds a man as he has bound her. With a cry she let her brow sink till it touched his breast.
His greatness lies, not only in the abiding importance of his best undertakings, but still more in the Titanic force that he threw into the inception and accomplishment of all of them a force which invests the storm-blasted monoliths strewn along the latter portion of his career with a majesty unapproachable by a tamer race of toilers.
John reported to us daily that the birds were getting tamer, and were not afraid of the net. On Saturday we went up and hid in the bushes. John held the strings of course.

'Yea, said one, 'I own him, and happy am I that he doth not own me. Said I, 'Wilt thou sell him? 'Yea' said he, 'if thou livest another hour to tell down the money. Said I, 'I am a tamer of wild beasts, and if thou wilt sell this one at such a price, I will rid thee of him. The man yeasaid this, but kept well aloof with his fellows, who looked on, handling their weapons.
