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. - [Previous: c10.261](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.yule-burnell-1886.c10.261) - [Next: c10.263](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.yule-burnell-1886.c10.263) - [Up: c10](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.yule-burnell-1886.c10) --- Source: [https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.yule-burnell-1886.c10.262](https://indike.org/pramana/ins.reference.yule-burnell-1886.c10.262) · Pramāṇa
