viathor) and distilled in a cauldron (dêgh),
which is covered by an inverted vessel (nând),
and the vapour passes thence into a “ worm ”
(naichâ), and thence into condensing vessels
(bhabkâ, bhapka) which are buried in a water-
vat (hauz). The liquor|is then collected in a pot
(matukâ, matukî). The fermented sugar or ma-
huâ is to the west lâhan ; to the east, where ma-
huâ is most generally used, it is pâs. Each boil-
ing is tâo. Liquor distilled once is êkbârâ or
tharrâ, of which there are two kinds—râsî or
weak, and phul, pliûlkâ, stronger spirit. As

retail shop gaddi.

latter has generally no stand (f/Ora),andtke sides
are straight or only slightly curved. It is
derived from Pers. âb — water ; khwurdan -
to eat. Earthen vessels of a somewhat similar
shape are the dabuâ, kulhrâ, matkainâ or
purvâ.

tion of land. For the various kinds of irriga-
tion see nâo, palêh, palêo, parêh, paréo,
palêvat, parêvat, pataiâ. To irrigate is âb-
pâshî karnâ, pâni patânâ, pânî dênâ, pâm
bahâvâ, parêhnâ, patânâ, patkab, sîchnâ,
