Nir,
Admittedly, my Arabic is very rusty, so can you help my weak memory.
As I understand your post, your dictionary gave the Hebrew translation of
KH'ALAD as HINTZIAKH (הנצח). Am I correct in that understanding?
In his response post, Fred Burlingame cited Psalm 89, and apparently saw a
relationship between KH'ALAD and XLD (חלד). But, in my failing memory, I
seem to recall that the equivalent Hebrew letter to the Arabic
transliteration K(H) is כ, not ח. Am I remembering incorrectly?
Thanks for the help,
Paul Zellmer

with the permission of the moderators, and requiring ABSOLUTE
moderation of all of us, i humbly ask to re-open
discussion on eternity, in view of the following unexpected
casual finding from my arabic dictionary:
HINTZIAKH (hebrew) = KH'ALAD.
please, do not invoke such connections as rodent=KHOLED or rust=KHALUDA.
fred, what do you think of this?
