Hi.
I've been studying Arabic for a little over a year now, and I'm enjoying
it
immensely.
I have a tattoo of a dragon and a phoenix, and I was hoping someone out
there could tell me if there is an Arabic translation for Phoenix - I have
Dragon already - as I wish to have both words tattooed next to their
respective images.
I tried using a translation website, but when I showed my tutor the
results,
???????
she said the word only implied a creature with a long neck, such as a
giraffe. However, my Elias dictionary translates this as Griffon. The
Elias dictionary also mentions what I take to be Ta'ir Maj'hul (unknown
bird?), but I was hoping for something a little more specific.
Any help would be much appreciated.
