**AMBAREE**, *s.* This is a P. word (*ʿamārī*) for a Howdah, and the word occurs in Colebrooke’s letters, but is quite unusual now. Gladwin defines *Amaree* as “an umbrella over the Howdeh” (*Index to Ayeen*, i.). The proper application is to a canopied howdah, such as is still used by native princes.
