       {achoo} is generally supposed to denote (see Job 8:11); so

       the Nile which Hasselquist describes as "having scarce any
       branches, but numerous leaves, which are narrow, smooth,
       channelled on the upper surface, and the plant about eleven
       feet high.  The Egyptians make ropes of the leaves."
