والخرطوم للفيل، وهو أنفه، ويقوم له مقام يده ومقام عنقه.

And the trunk is for the elephant, and it is its nose, and it serves as its hand and its neck.

وإنما هو وعاء إذا ملأه الفيل من طعام أو ماء أولجه في فيه؛ لأنه قصير العنق لا ينال ماء ولا مرعى.

It is merely a container; if the elephant fills it with food or water, it inserts it into its mouth; because it has a short neck, it cannot reach water or pasture.
