=enjalma=, f., kind of packsaddle. — The Spanish American Reader, Ernesto Nelson
By this packsaddle, my old acquaintance, quoth the ass, I have done with you; a fart for thy litter and hay, and a fart for thy oats; give me the thistles of our fields, since there we leap when we list. — Gargantua and Pantagruel, François Rabelais
By the whiteness of the packsaddle, I could see Modestine walking round and round at the 10 length of the tether; I could hear her steadily munching at the sward; but there was not another sound, save the indescribable quiet talk of the runnel over the stones. — Story Hour Readings: Seventh Year, E. C. (Ernest Clark) Hartwell
