Welakina...I do not see that "ibraniyoon" is used .... that spelling would have been "العبرانيين" ... mazboot? Either: 1) She is incorrect 2) I am incorrect 3) the poster was misprinted 4) something else What is your advice? tadamon, Dan SALIM TAMARI st372@georgetown.edu 1:01 PM (0 minutes ago) to Rochelle, me Dear Dan (cc Rochelle) She is incorrect. Darwish's word is 'Aberoon (passers), not Ibrahiyoon (Hebrews), and the translation in the poster is correct. I am not sure if Darwish intended this as a play on the word Ibraniyoon. It is possible, but unlikely, as it would be too crude as a double entendre. It is true however that the root of Hebrews, according to some linguists, comes from an old semitic roots 'Abiru--'those who travel, or migrate, or some-such.
