The Army of the Indian Moghuls: Its Organization and Administration c9.25

c9.25

*Jihlam*. — According to the dictionary (Shakes., 825), this is the Hindī for armour, coat of mail, vizor of helmet; but I do not know what was its special nature or form. Steingass, 405, has *chahlam*, a sort of armour; also *chihaltah*, a coat of mail. Kām Rāj, 58*b*, has a passage — “Mīr Mushrif came quickly and lifted his *jihlam* from his face.” This makes the word equivalent to vizor. It is not in the *Āīn*.
