[FN#116] The formula (constantly used by Moslems) here denotes

displeasure, doubt how to act and so forth. Pronounce, "La haula

wa la kuwwata illa bi 'llahi 'I-Aliyyi 'I-Azim." As a rule

mistakes are marvellous: Mandeville (chapt. xii.) for "La ilaha

illa 'llahu wa Muhammadun Rasulu 'llah" writes "La ellec sila,

Machomete rores alla." The former (la haula, etc.), on account of

the four peculiar Arabic letters, is everywhere pronounced

differently. and the exclamation is called "Haulak" or "Haukal."
