The Bible in Spain, Vol. 2 [of 2] / Or, the Journeys, Adventures, and Imprisonments of an Englishman in an Attempt to Circulate the Scriptures in the Peninsula

by George Borrow

Juez. Span. A judge.

Jumal. Arab. Friday. More correctly, jum‘a.

Junta. Span. and Port. An assembly, meeting, council, governing body.

Juntunó. Rom. A listener, spy, sneak. From junar, junelar, to listen. P. ii. 221; Pp. 497; M. viii. 75.

Justicia. Span. A legal tribunal, or the magistrate or magistrates who constitute it. Absol, justice.

Kafir. Arab. Not a Moslem.

Kandrisa. According to Borrow, Turkish trousers. Possibly the same as the African Arabic ḳan dūra = long shirt, toga talaris.

Kapul Udbagh. According to Borrow = “There is no God but one.”

Kauk. Hebr. The furred cap of Jerusalem, according to Borrow. We may perhaps compare ḳūḳa, stated by Redhouse in his Turkish Diet, to be a peculiar plumed head-dress worn by field-officers of the Janissaries.

Kawar. Arab. An uncommon word, meaning, no doubt, a cemetery, being a corrupt form of ḳabr, a tomb.
