Summary/Abstract: The paper deals with an etymology of the Sudan arab. term bāzinqir used for private armed slave troops engaged in slave and ivory trade in the 19th century Sudan. This etymology was given by Max von Oppenheim in his famous work “Rabeh und das Tschadseegebiet”. Von Oppenheim traced bāzinqir back to Fūr bāsī “male member of the Keira ruling dynasty” + Tacafe ingue “son”. This short article is an additional paper to an article published by the author in “Zeitschrift für Arabische Linguistik” (ZAL).
