@Fenakhay I've looked for عكروش and عقروش on the web and the latter seems to be used in Morocco for messy or strongly curled hair, perhaps also like nappy hair, or what is called "Afro-textured hair". Something like that. Can you confirm? Because I think it could work as a cognate. Comparing the loop or curl of a shell to a curl in hair. Thanks. 92.73.31.113 21:36, 9 February 2020 (UTC)Reply

@92.73.31.113 Yes, we use the latter for messy hair. And if I am not mistaken it is also used in Bahrani Arabic as well with the same meaning. Fenakhay ❯❯❯ Talk 21:53, 9 February 2020 (UTC)Reply
