User talk:197.38.46.131

I’ve referred to the talk pages & posted comments. I’ve taken it into account in my edit & included more sources, I have also given EW Lane his due weight. But I have yet to receive adequate explanation for my most recent questions on the talk page which are entirely relevant because the discussion is centered on the current festival & its continuity with the past. Again I’ve provided two studies one from 2009 & the other from 2014 which claim the first day of Khamaseen is at the end of March https://www.researchgate.net/profile/Mustafa-Al-Kuisi/publication/222814007_Characterization_of_the_Khamaseen_Spring_Dust_in_Jordan/links/5b67ab5d299bf1b9303ca43c/Characterization-of-the-Khamaseen-Spring-Dust-in-Jordan.pdf https://core.ac.uk/download/pdf/234685858.pdf & have shown historical trend data for Easter which shows Orthodox Julian Calendar(which the Coptic Orthodox Church follows for Easter) Easter dates the majority time does not fall at the end of March http://5ko.free.fr/en/easter.php?y=19 which means this holiday is usually not observed on the first day of Khamaseen refuting EW Lane’s claim on this. Another problem is the EW Lane report claims Muslims of Egypt calculate the date to be at the start of the Khamaseen which happens to follow Coptic Easter. Two problems with this first even in 1834 Coptic Easter was not at the end of March(thus not on the first day of Khamaseen) & same case is the case for the majority of documented dates for this Easter in the data http://5ko.free.fr/en/easter.php?y=19 the second problem with this is I haven’t received an adequate explanation for how Muslims of Egypt today choose the date. I have asked several times how did they come up with the date May 3 for 2021? How did they come up with April 20 for 2020? How did they come up with April 29 for 2019? How did they come up with April 9 for 2018? How did they come up with April 17 for 2017? How did they come up with May 2 for 2016? And said if the claim is they used to calculate it this way & do not calculate it to be in the first day of Khamaseen anymore, that means lack of continuity with the current holiday since they would not be following their supposed traditional date for celebration. If the claim is they just follow the Coptic Easter Monday date, that means it is inextricably connected to the Coptic fasting schedule & not independent from Coptic Easter Monday calculation. These are questions & rebuttals I’ve yet to receive an adequate answer for thus far. To substantiate the notion of its date being independent from Coptic Easter Monday & Lane’s claim, I an adequate explanation to these questions & rebuttals. If not answered I don’t see we can pass the current celebration as being calculated independently from Coptic Easter Monday.
