French term or phrase: qamargah
Demain,en l`honneur de sa victoire , père organisera un
qamargah.
Das Buch heisst: Sous un ciel de marbre von John Shors
Es handelt von Indien unter dem Herrscher Shah Jahan im
Jahre 1632.
Ulrike Rose
German translation:Treibjagd
Explanation:
Es gibt scheinbar verschiedene Formen der qamargah, es werden auch Tiger, Leoparden oder Löwen gejagt oder zur Jagd eingesetzt. Vielleicht sollte man Qamargah beibehalten und Treibjagd mit einem Komma nachsetzen:

"...wird Vater morgen eine Qamargah, eine große Treibjagd organisieren."
Textauszug aus dem Link unten:
This painting is the scene of the qamargah, a spectacular hunt in the style of the Timurids. A particular area was earmarked and all the game within it was driven towards the centre from the outer edges. As the circumference is drawn in like a noose, the trapped animals are hunted down. The nobles of the court and the emperor are in the midst of action here. On oxen carts and horses, they have surrounded the animal. Trained leopards with collars around their necks are used to round up the hunt. The antelopes and the fawns here have no escape route and are destined to die at the hands of the emperor.
