|
||
> They know nothing of our cards; but at Bombay, I met with four Arabian merchants, who played with Chinese cards, so large and thick, that not one of the four but had enough to do with both hands. | ||
The original reads:[@ReisebeschreibungNachArabien p. 173] | ||
|
||
> Man nennet dies Spiel in der arabischen Sprache Laͤb el kamar.{%fn%}This is probably <span lang="ar">لعب القمار</span> <span lang="ar-Latn">laeib al-qimar</span>, meaning simply ‘gambling’.{%endfn%} Zu Bombay spielten alte arabische Kaufleute mit chinesischen Karten. Diese sind sher dick und unbequem. Ich erinnere mich, vier Personen spielen gesehen zu haben, wovon jede zu ihrem Anteil so viel erhielt, daß sie sie kaum in beiden Händen halten konnte. | ||
