Panjab; but vide Harting's Bib. Ace, p. 225. "Lunys 

 about her feet, Morte d' Arthur, i, 180." — Halliwell. In 

 the Panjab, if a swivel is used, it is permanently attached 

 to a long cord and the jesses are fitted with varvels. A 

 fine leather strap is attached to the ring of the swivel, and, 

 passed through the varvels, attaches them to the swivel. 

 Ordinarily, however, the jesses are simple pointed straps 

 without any hole or slit at the ends : they are knotted to 

 the leash without any swivel].
