Thanx for the response on BLG: it looks as if the Arabic balaja with the idea
of destruction fits the context better than the gloss I had been given.
Where did you get this one from? None of the on-list replies suggested a
meaning "destruction" for the Arabic. "Break" when used of dawn does not
mean destruction.
