¹ This is based on Francis Johnson's Dictionary, but Arabic scholars take exception to this meaning. The Ghiyāth-u'l-lughāt says that foṭah is in reality foṭah which means revenue. According to this interpretation the word foṭahdār would mean a keeper of revenue or a treasurer. If eht Ghiyāth is correct, foṭah is probably an Arabicized form of some Hindī word, most likely potah or a bag of corn.
