bilby commented on the word akhoond
WHAT, what, what,
What's the news from Swat?
Sad news,
Bad news,
Comes by the cable led
Through the Indian Ocean's bed,
Through the Persian Gulf, the Red
Sea and the Med-
Iterranean -- he 's dead;
The Ahkoond is dead!
- George Thomas Lanigan.

Is there a difference between Ahkoond and Akhoond, or is it a typo?

Well spotted, should definitely be Akhoond in the verse quoted.
