"The rich," says Mr. Morier, "hire a {dedeh,} or wet nurse for
their children. If a boy, the father appoints a steady man
from the age of two years to be his {laleh,} who, I
conjecture, must stand in the same capacity as the bringers up
of children mentioned in the catastrophe of Ahab's sons. But
if it be a daughter, she has a {gees sefeed,} or white head,
attached to her for the same purpose as the {laleh.}"
