marabou

Leptoptilos crumeniferus, a large wading bird native to Africa, with a naked head and neck adapted for scavenging.

A person having five-eighths black ancestry; the offspring of a mulatto and a griffe.

Madimarian , a Marabou, killed me a bullock; I give him one bottle of powder.

A kind of thrown raw silk, naturally nearly white, but capable of being dyed without scouring.

A thin fabric made from this silk, as for scarves.
