Ancient Arabic
Hi Sijadthelastpoet, we are not doubting that the Old Arabic and Old English words for Earth are similar, but that doesn't imply that one came from the other. It is much more likely that both derive from PIE. Can you trace the Arabic word back to Old Persian and Iranian?  D b f i r s   14:58, 15 April 2017 (UTC)


 * In this case Shall I ask you, the Word ''Ard" existed in Old Persian or ont? If Not that proves that Arabic ARd is the root of its English daugther becausE Old Arabic was before Old English. Isn'T?

 * Experts have spent long hours researching etymology. Similarities sometimes indicate that a word transferred from Arabic.  We have a long list at List of English words of Arabic origin.  In other cases, the similarities indicate a common root.  There may be other cases where the similarity is just a coincidence.  Please do the research, and don't make assumptions.  If you don't have easy access to major dictionaries, then the Onlime Etymology Dictionary summarises what the big Oxford English Dictionary says.    D b f i r s   15:59, 15 April 2017 (UTC)


 * Thank you, but we must mention it .Cave, Earth and Wine for example. In the future we don't know witch one will be surprised? Other example the French Word "malade" that mean sick, perhaps is from Other Anciant Arabic word ( maradh = illness)

 * No, Wikipedia should not contain WP:Original research or your personal opinion. Any suggestions that you add about new etymologies should be referenced to WP:Reliable sources.  French Wiktionary says that malade is from Old French malabde which came from Vulgar Latin male habitus.  It would be interesting to know the etymology of the Arabic word.  Maltese does have a word marad that came from Arabic.    D b f i r s   16:37, 15 April 2017 (UTC)


 * Sciences beginns with doubts and assumptions.

The malteese is a variant of Arabic dialects. Sijadthelastpoet (talk) 18:49, 15 April 2017 (UTC)


 * Indeed, it is only right to investigate links between words. If you can find WP:Reliable sources that support your guesses, then by all means put the claims back in Wikipedia, but it would be wrong to replace hundreds of years of linguistic research with a guess based on similarity.  That's not how science works.    D b f i r s   19:17, 15 April 2017 (UTC)


 * Easily.we.can.prove that.the Arabic words "ARd" and.Kaf are both Old more than 15 centuries. Because these Words are mentionned in the Holy Coran. Can you prove that the similars English words are more than 15 centuries? You cant because. Anciant Arabic is more old than your Anciant English. You understand Why I said strong probably.

What say English dictinnary about the root of the word "Cave" I m sure that he can say nothing ! Sijadthelastpoet (talk) 20:04, 15 April 2017 (UTC)

There is another proof. In French we Also say "alcove" and we can see Easily the arabic root! You see! Sijadthelastpoet (talk) 20:25, 15 April 2017 (UTC) Sijadthelastpoet (talk) 20:25, 15 April 2017 (UTC)

Some.scientists.can.Easily.falsify.The .truth. they prefer.ly.To. say.The.truth.The.great.exemple.is. the french word malade. You say that the french wikitionary say that is from latin. It is impropable. We can say that the word passed from Arabi via Spain or Sicilia. Sijadthelastpoet (talk) 20:46, 15 April 2017 (UTC)

Hi Sijad – I noticed you made another unsourced change at cave. From my perspective, as a layman, you seem to know quite a lot about etymology and linguistics. However, Wikipedia does not publish original research, and whether you think "scientists can easily falsify the truth" or not, doesn't matter. If someone comes up with a theory (about the origin of a word, for example) and it is published in a reliable, unbiased source, then it is probably OK to include it in Wikipedia. Unfortunately, your additions to articles will not be accepted until you back them up with a such a source. Thanks &mdash;  Quasar G  t - c 21:13, 15 April 2017 (UTC)

You are correct about alcove but not about cave which comes from Latin cavus (hollow). As I wrote earlier, some similarities occur because there is a common root in Proto-Indo-European language. In Wikipedia, we can only report what scholars have theorised. Your opinion of probability, and mine don't really count for anything here.  D b f i r s   21:46, 15 April 2017 (UTC)
