I see, so the connection is that obvious. I thought 'bint' was rather
an obscure word. At least Matthew Reilly, my latest translation
victim, seems to think you need to be somewhat familiar with Arabic
to recognise it. But Reilly doesn't seem to be very knowledgeable
about many things...
Seems I need to redo this morning's work. But that will have to be
another time.
