a camel
_Camut_ is explained by Klaproth to be ‘leather made from the back-skin of
a camel.’ It appears in Johnson”s Persian Dictionary as _Km_, but I do
not know from what language it originally comes. The word is in the Latin
column of the Petrarchian Vocabulary with the Persian rendering _Sagri_.
This shows us what is meant, for _Saghr_ is just our word _Shagreen_, and
is applied to a fine leather granulated in that way, which is much used
for boots and the like by the people of Central Asia. [In Turkish _saghri_
or _saghri_ is the name both for the buttocks of a horse and the leather
called _shagreen_ prepared with them. (See _Devic, Dict. tym._)–H. C.]
In the commercial lists of our Indian north-west frontier we find as
synonymous _Saghri_ or _Kmukht_, ‘Horse or Ass-hide.’ No doubt this
latter word is a form of _Km_ or _Camut_. It appears (as _Keimukht_, ‘a
sort of leather’) in a detail of imports to Aden given by _Ibn al Wardi_,
a geographer of the 13th century.
