      ويقولون الصَّلِيخَةُ لضرب من العطر بالصّاد. والصّواب السَّلِيخَةُ بالسّين. فأمّا السَّلِيخَةُ التي تقول لها العامّة الهَيْدُورَةُ فليست من كلام العرب وإنّما تقول للإهاب الّذي يُسْلَخُ السَّلاَخُ.
      Them man say صَلِيخَة (ṣalīḵa, bark) for a kind of aromatic, with ṣād. But the right form is سَلِيخَة (salīḵa) with sīn. And in what concerns the سَلِيخَة (salīḵa, peel) which the vulgar hotes هَيْدُورة (haydūra) this isn’t even from the speech of the Arabs, they say it for the hide that the flayer strips off.
