This is a term (pl. sanguineis) often used by the Portuguese writers on India for a kind of boat, or small vessel, used in war. We are not able to trace any origin in a vernacular word. It is perhaps taken from the similar proper name which is the subject of the next article. \[This supposition is rendered practically certain from the quotation from Albuquerque below, furnished by Mr. Whiteway.\] Bluteau gives “Sanguicel; termo da India. He hum genero de embarcação pequena q serve na costa da India para dar alcanse aos paròs dos Mouros,” ‘to give chase to the prows of the Moors.’ - [Previous: c10.13057](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.yule-burnell-1886.c10.13057) - [Next: c10.13059](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.yule-burnell-1886.c10.13059) - [Up: c10](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.yule-burnell-1886.c10) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.yule-burnell-1886.c10.13058](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.yule-burnell-1886.c10.13058) · Pramāṇa
