گُرْبِه • (gorbe) (plural گربهها (gorbe-hâ) or گربگان (gorbegân))
- cat
- c. 1060, Nāṣir-i Khusraw, Safarnāma [Book of Travels][6]:
- و آن جا زنان را علتی میافتد به اوقات که چون مصروعی دو سه بار بانگ کنند و باز به هوش آیند و در خراسان شنیده بودم که جزیرهای است که زنان آن جا چون گربگان به فریاد میآیند و آن بر این گونه است که ذکر رفت.
- w-ān jā zanān rā ilatē mē-uftad ba awqāt ki čōn masrū'ē du si bār bāng kunand u bāz ba hōš āyand u dar xurāsān šunīda būdam ki jazīra'ē ast ki zanān ān jā čōn gurbagān ba faryād mē-āyand u ān bar īn gōna ast ki zikr raft.
- And there, a disease comes upon women from time to time so that they cry out like an epileptic two or three times, then return to sanity again. And in Khurasan, I had heard that there is an island whose women scream like cats. That is the same sort of thing as what has been mentioned.
