hooshta
- A call made to a camel to direct it to stand, sit, go, etc.
1895 July 6, The West Australian, Perth, page 6, column 8:As a rule the temper of a camel is very good; the driver guiding it by ropes fixed by string to a stud, very similar in every way to a collar stud, which is put through the nostril of the beast, and a tug at this, with an accompanying word of command, such as "Hooshta," when it is wanted to lie down, is generally sufficient inducement to make it do what it is told.
1903 November 28, The World's News, Sydney, page 14, column 3:Some day a solitary prospector will say "Hooshtah" to his camel, and, on the intelligent beast kneeling down, will dismount, and prepare to camp.
