It is my experience that the arabic cognates we find in hebrew lexicons
like KBL och Gesenius often don't exist in standard arabic word books like
Hans Wehr. Now arabic is very rich of words. Sometimes the actual words can
be found in a bigger arabic word book like Lane. But the question we must
put is what weight is has, if there looks to be a relationship between a
word in the hebrew bibel and some single occurance of a arabic word in some
medieval manuscript. That is the question.
