up of an adjective and a noun. The adjectives are made up of four letters each. So are the succeeding nouns. The even lettering of both adjectives and nouns creates a kind of morphemic symmetry unattainable in the English translation. The tenth wife (TT) said: "My husband is Malik, and what is Malik? Malik is greater than whatever I say about him. (He is beyond and above all praises which can come to my mind.) Most of his camels are kept at home (ready to be slaughtered for the guests) and only a few are taken to the pastures. When the camels hear the sound of the lute (or the tambourine) they realise that they are going to be slaughtered for the guests." The name of the woman's husband is thrice repeated, which is emblematic of how proud of him she is and, how absolutely spotless his character is. He is rich, hospitable, considerate, and kind-hearted. The adjectives 'kathi ra't' (many) and 'gall la't' (few) are both alliterative and antithetical. Describing the alliterative relationship between structure sequences Geoffrey Leech (A Linguistic Guide to English Poetry, 1969, p96), says: "It is worthwhile to point out, however, that the phonological bond is most striking when it is between words which are grammatically paired but which contrast in reference and associations". The eleventh wif3 (TT) said: "My husband is Abu Zar( (ie. what should I say about him)? He has given me many ornaments and my ears are heavily loaded with them and my arms have become fat (ie. I have become fat). And he has pleased me, and I have become so happy that I 208
feel proud of myself. He found me with my family who were mere owners of sheep and living in poverty, and brought me to a respected family having horses and camels and threshing and purifying grain. Whatever, I say he does not rebuke or insult me. When I sleep, I sleep till late in the morning, and when I drink water (or milk) I drink my fill. The mother of Abu Zart; and what may one say in praise of the mother of Abu Zari?! Her saddle bags were all full of provisions and her house was spacious. As for the son of Abu Zart; what may one say of the son of Abu Zare? His bed is as narrow as an unsheathed sword and an arm of a kid (of four months) satisfies his hunger. As for the daughter of Abu Zari, she is obedient to her father and to her mother. She has a fat well-built body and that arouses the jealousy of her husband's other wife. As for the maid slave of Abu Zar'; what may one say of the maid slave of Abu Zare? She does not uncover our secrets but keeps them, and does not waste our provisions and does not leave rubbish scattered everywhere in our house." The eleventh lady added, "One day it so happened that Abu Zari went out at the time when the milk was being milked from the animals, and he saw a woman who had two sons like two leopards playing with her two breasts. (On seeing her) he divorced me and married her. Therefore, I married a noble man who used to ride a fast tireless horse and keep a spear in his hand. He gave me many things and also a pair of every kind of livestock and said, 'Eat (of this) 0 Um Zart, and give provision to your relatives'. She added, 'Yet, all those things which my second husband gave me could not fill the smallest utensil of Abu 209
