The commentator makes similar remarks on scanzas 789 and 790 also, but not in the case of the remaining three stanzas (791, 792 and 793). 789) Amaro Aranag a garment deficient in its length (12=31214). 275 34= canto Fit (Tişat ) a garment devoid of the ideal or optimum width. , width (feant), is abstract noun from 7 (broad, wide) (cf. fi in st. 788).
