agree  Lamis Maalouf: Right but "an old" has to be added to the wound later. http://www.almaany.com/home.php?language=english&word=نكأ&la...

  -> Thank you very much for your contribution. I don't think "old" is necessary though. http://www.emedicinehealth.com/removing_stitches/page6_em.ht... I think "reopen an old wound" is more of a literary context, don't you agree? Still, wouldn't hurt to add it
