The Survey Of Western Palestine 1882 1888 Arabic And English Name Lists

Excerpt from The Survey of Western Palestine: Arabic and English Name Lists, Collected During the Survey by Lieutenants Conder and Kitchener, R. E The reader will find in the following pages the meanings of the Arabic words, as far as I could ascertain them, with suggestions as to the more obvious Hebrew and Aramaic derivations. The letters p.n. (proper name) after a name, mean either that it is a common Arabic personal appellation, or that it is a word to which no meaning can be assigned.
