 The system of writing 'Arabic words is after the same uncertain 

 fashion: — at one time, " Makhdum-ul-Mulk," at another, " Makhdum 

 ulmulk ;" " Mui'zzulmulk" at one time : " Mu'izz-ul-Mulk", and " Mu'izz- 

 ul Mulk" another ; " Zakhirat ulkhawanin" at one time, " Zakhiratul- 

 khawanin," another ; " Qimcam uddaulah,"for Samsam-ud-Daulah* ; " Abii- 

 jahl," for Abu- Jhal* ; " Rauzatuccafa," for Rauzat-us-Safa, and the like. 

 Some ' Arabic titular names and patronymics require the ' Arabic 

 Jl to give them sense, such as " Mihr^wnisa," for Mihr-ww-JSTisa, and " 'Abd- 

 ul Majid" for ' Abd-^/-Majid, but with other words, used according to 

 the Persian idiom, which require an equivalent to this J\ in the shape of 

 the hasrah of description the Izafat is wrong, " dangerous," " un- Persian", 

 and must be " Nur Jahan", " Niir Mahall", like Shah Jahan, which mean, 

 respectively, thus written, " Light- world," "Light-palace or house," and, 

 " King- World," instead o/Nur-i- Jahan— The Light of the World ; Nur-i- 

 Mahall— The Light of the Palace or House ; Shah-i- Jahan— The King of 

 the World ; and yet, when, he comes to translate them, Mr. Blochmann 

 adds these " artificial" izafats to get the the and of the, as in " Qadr Ja- 

 han"— Mufti of the empire; and " ' Abdurrahim Kharf"— Abdurrahim the 

 Ass, &c.
