Re: Sab'yn Status
If that was a question, then yes, they should. but they are nothing like the infantry you are thinking of...Originally Posted by SamuraiofDoom
besides, they already reruit Arabian auxiliaries, so why change the unit roster? (though they seriously need to lose the javelins)...

More good stuff - this short paper: http://www.ieiop.com/pub/10korotayev_24477968.pdf has sha'b as an administrative division and has a translation of qsd-hmw w-rgl-hmw w-'dm-hmw as "free peasants and soldiers and clients".

Re: Sab'yn Status
thanks!
I see that rgl is cognate to arabic rajul, used here for soldiers, hmw means free, 'dm is client, and qsd is peasents. I'll try to add them in the mini lexicon.

Re: Sab'yn Status
I'm gonna look up grammar books and the likes on Semetic languages and Sabaic. And try to find as much as possible, not sure how much that's going to be though. But as they also teach Aramaic, Akkadian and similar languages at my uni, there must be books about it. Probably gonna do Aramaic myself next year so.just as mine did as well.

Re: Sab'yn Status
After doing some searches I've found a Sabaic dictionary. I've also got that book we talked about, describing semetic languages
