Hajib or Hijab?

Wikipedia's article flatly disagrees with ours, saying that "hijab" is the scarf and "hajib" is "a government official".. Who's right? –scs 02:05, 1 June 2006 (UTC)

Arabic has various forms deriving from the verb حجب (ħájába, 'to cover,' 'to veil'), including حجاب (ħijáb, 'cover,' 'wrap,' 'woman’s veil') and حاجب (ħájib, 'concealing,' 'covering,' and also 'doorman,' 'gatekeeper,' 'chamberlain,' 'orderly') —Stephen 10:30, 2 June 2006 (UTC)

Thanks; that's the impression I was getting. So does that mean Wikipedia's article on Hajib is just wrong? –scs 03:29, 3 June 2006 (UTC)

I would classify it as uninformed. —Stephen 23:14, 3 June 2006 (UTC)
