Dear all,
Can anyone with expertise in cl. arabic explain why for BH goren
"threshing floor", BDB has jurnun, KBL has jirnun, and NIDOTTE has
ji/urn? Are there two forms or has one of BDB or KBL made a mistake
which NIDOTTE doesn't recognise? Wortabet's Arabic dictionary only lists
jurnun.
Thanks,
Matthew Anstey
