Talk:Khara

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

hehehehe

Why are the Mamluks suddenly mentioned in a paragraph when referencing the word 'khara' as a curse word? Relationship between the Mamluks and the usage of the curse word in here is totally irrlevant and insulting to the history of the mamluks.

[edit] Reverted Raiderspikes changes

Khara may indeed mean "shit" in arabaic. However, there was enough counter-productive and un-referenced content added with that definition to throw it all out. Perhaps someone can come along and add a more academic version. —Noah 04:40, 15 October 2007 (UTC)

I saw the edit, but I was uncertain enough to not revert it - previous versions had a fairly similar chunk of text... --Gwern (contribs) 11:25 15 October 2007 (GMT)
