The similarity of the words ®awala, mother-in-law, and ©aicla, fever, 

 has surprised us greatly ; but on comparing iv. 38, 39, and xii. 53, the fact 

 appears beyond doubt : nor can the text be any how accounted for by error 

 of the press j nor by any error of the translator, except such as would 

 prove him an idiot. In iv. 38, he has avoided saying that the Qawala of 

 Simon was sick of a 9aivla; using laxdjayyl (necessaria?) in that passage 

 for " mother-in-law." We believe that in Berber, Sawala and Latvia are 

 undistinguishable. Interest is given to the point, by the fact that in 

 Arabic, x"'"" C^^ pronounced] is a mother-in-law, and xo'^'>^Cj ^ fever j 

 and in this very passage, the only Arabic translation to which we have ac- 

 cess (that of Sabat), states that the xa?«« of Simon was sick of a ^owwa. 

 Now that this odd coincidence of the two languages can be accidental.
