The Arabs as people

Oh I forgot and this is from Versteegh's "The Arabic language"

"the earliest attested use of this name 'rb (3rb).......in a cuniiform inscription dating from 853BCE the Assyrian king Salmanassar III mentions as one of his adversaries Gindibu from the land of Arbi or Arbaya"

Oh and in your bizarre world let me guess king Salmanassar and Versteegh made this up right?

And because we cannot reach king Salmanassar you can write Versteegh and tell him that he is wrong but lay off the Musa wa Ibrahim thing and I can assure you that you will be making a fool of yourself

For the reades interested please check Kees Versteegh's book "The Arabic language" published by Edinburgh press page 23

Our dear iam is too lazy to read a book

Oh do me a favor no Musa and no Ibrahim this is about the Arabs and their language do you get it?
