"It is pure ignorance when you try to define a perfect Arabic word istilam be quoting an English language dictionary"

Obviously - if you had asked to define it in Arabic - then I would have done so . . .do point out whether you did that.

See - more lying!

for example . . . definition of a "computer" would be same for ALL languages!
