@Wikitiki89: Thanks for diff. I'm out of my tools and couldn't see by visual alone where the problem was. --Anatoli T. (обсудить/вклад) 00:31, 27 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

There was an LTR mark. --WikiTiki89 00:37, 27 September 2017 (UTC)[reply]

What is this cultural supremacist nonsense about Arabs not having doors and only living in tents? There's Arab cities that go back thousands of years that clearly had doors. This claim seems more based on hollywood "harem tent madness" than anything concrete.

What is this urbaner supremacism? Shame on you, there is nothing wrong about being a nomadic tent-dweller. Besides, these cities obviously did not speak Arabic thousands of years but Aramaic, for which reason most other parts of the house are also Aramaic borrowings. From the door only: أُسْكُفَّة (ʔuskuffa), قُفْل (qufl), مِتْرَاس (mitrās) etc. Fay Freak (talk) 12:33, 7 March 2020 (UTC)[reply]
