[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]For a better understanding of the Arabic language you should consult a good book on Arabic etymology. The Arabic language is very complex and it is advisable that you consult a specialist in the language when trying to affirm or negate certain meanings.

but again, we've already been through the discussion of meanings of words, just for example,

"Udhi'ya or Udhu'wa, are two names for the egg of the ostrich."

Udhiya is simply a singular of Dahyyaat. Udhuwa is the same word as Udhiya. Also, Deheya or Deheyya also means Udhiya. In the Arabic grammar, depending on the position of the word in the sentence, we sometimes substitute the pronunciation of the "y" with a "w". Udhiya and Udhuwa are not two different words. They are the same word. The Arabic word "dahaha" is derived from the root word "dahya" which literally means "egg". Udhuwa is the reference to "dahya". In Arabic, words that are referenced are sometimes written differently. Udhuwa and "dahya" are written differently, but they mean the same word.[/quote]

Great. But then why do Muslim sources say "flat"? It would also be nice to see a cite to actual usage, but not the evangelizing cite.[/quote]

I am sorry but I don't know what Muslim sources you are talking about. Who? Give me a name? Just because someone put it on a website does not count as a  muslim source to me. When I want to know something about Islam, I open the Quran itself or I read what Muslim Scholars that I know for a fact are credible have said on the topic , I dont just google things, so I have no idea what sources you are talking about. I have never heard a Muslim scholar say the earth is flat[/quote]
