Subject:meaning of kul wa-ushkur
<span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: medium; white-space: normal; ">Hi all,<br><br>I have been using Haddawy's translation of The Arabian Nights for freshmen seminar, and it has worked very well. The other day, though, a student asked what did "eat-and-thanks," in the story of "Three Ladies of Baghdad," mean to which I did not have an answer. I checked M. Mahdi's edition, upon which the translation was based, it has "kul wa-[u]shkur," which i assume, in light of the context, is some kind of sweets? Does any one know its reference?<br><br>Thanks,<br><br>Li Guo<br>University of Notre Dame <br></span><br></span></font></p><p align=""><font class="Apple-style-span" face="Helvetica" size="3"><span class="Apple-style-span" style="font-size: 12px; ">--------------------------------------------------------------------------
