peer agreement (net): +4wormwood/Artemesia Explanation: http://ar.wikipedia.org/wiki/شيح http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roman_wormwood -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 37 mins (2008-10-29 08:51:37 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Mind you this is not a tree, and therefore, not a kind of wood. It is a shrub as you can see from the Wikipedia article, and there are many species of this genus. There aren't many google reference to "خشب الشيح". I think therefore that خشب was mistakenly added because of the presence of the word "wood" in the English name. Anyway wait to see other translators responses :) |
