Our dear Amin who is debating not one but several languages that he cannot speak read or write

So did you get why Christian Arabs translate Syriac Bishm (the Syriac sheen becomes Arabic seen) to Arabic B'ism? Because it is the correct Arabic something that your so called Allah does not even get

However - as far I know . . . the word "Arab" is of Semitic origin - to mean 'passerby' or 'nomad'. It is a common Semitic root - with few meanings.

How did i miss this little gem

The word Arab عربي is really a metathesis of the word عبري which means he who crosses (the desert)

Now guess does what the word عبري mean?

What a disaster Abul Qasim's ancestors were عبريين
