…the perfect instrument for the raider; the mount of the brigand and not of the soldier…
-Henri Lhote, Le Cheval et le Chameau, 1952
KhairAllah would have been amused to hear Henri Lhote speak on the subject of camels and their riders. Raiders? Brigands? Soldiers? He was neither of the three, but rather a Jammāl (in the occupational form of J-M-L, which also gives Jamal, Camel), whose root makes the Rider the perfect instrument of the Ridden.
