    That's the problem though. The console won't open with EB. I don't know why. :/

    I'm a master of the English language which is my first language and an amateur etymologist, so I branch out to many other languages and try to learn all the connections and origins of words. :) It's basically the Arab word for desert, because to them while the Najd was a certainly a big desert, the Sahara is such a vast desert that it must be THE Desert, just like Constantinople, AKA Istanbul is effectively just "the City" to many people, with Istanbul actually meaning "to the city" in corrupted Greek (for mailing purposes). Besides everyone I know has heard of the Sahara so when I say Sahara they know I mean that big-ole expanse of wasteland in Northern Africa. I can then tell them it's the Arab word for it and they usually remember it. :)

    Sorry about being pedantic btw.
