SEO. _Span._ A cathedral church.
SEREKA. _Arab._ A theft. More correctly, _sarika_.
SERRA. _Port._ A high range of mountains; the Spanish sierra.
SERRADOR. _Span._ and _Port._ A sawyer. Although according to some authorities this was the real name of the person mentioned in i. 138, 233, it seems that he was really a sawyer, by name Jose Miralles, born in Valencia, on the borders of Aragon. He served under _El Fraile_ (The Friar), a Guerilla chief in the Napoleonic wars, and was rather the rival than the lieutenant of Cabrera, who imprisoned him, on which occasion he broke both his legs in a vain attempt to escape. He subsequently took part in the rising at Maeztrazgo, in 1844, and died in the campaign of that year, while serving under General Villalonga.
SERRANIA. _Span._ and _Port._ District or country of _sierras_, or mountain ridges.

Lord (a word which itself, perhaps, contains the Span. _Don_), whence ??????, _Dominus_, and the LORD, have found their way into translations of the Old Testament. Our English "Jehovah" contains the forbidden consonants of _Yahweh_ and the vowel points of _Adonai_.
SHEREEF. _Arab._ n.o.ble.
SHILLAM EIDRI. Apparently meant for _lashon ivri_ = the Hebrew tongue.
