If you read the story "The Porter and the Three Ladies of Baghdad" (I think... this is from memory) the women (the escalating beauty of whom as the porter meets each is incredibly phrased by Burton) eventually are fooling around with the porter and they are pointing to each other's crotches and joking about different names: "thy cleft, thy slit, thy coynte, thy clitoris" and the women suggest "the basil of the bridges" (I confess myself mystified) and "the husked sesame seed" (husked due to female circumcision). Other translations are muuuuuch more tame. Abridged versions probably skip it entirely. When I first read the unexpurgated Burton my mind was blown on the regular.
