[edit] Nabteans?

Why are they in the Qahtan article. (I didn't want to edit, until I figure out if there is a reason for including them in the Qahtan article. They are unrelated, even if they came from the South it was from a Pre Qahtan Semitic Migration, Just like the rest of the Semites. Qahtan mainly remained in South Arabia until the Kahlan migrations in the 3rd century. Any migrations before the 3rd century are minor and were assimilated to the North Semitic culutres. The early Semitic migrations of the 3rd Mellenia were before Qahtan existed. Which according to Arab geneology was Seperated 40 generation from Ismail and 80 generations from Adnan so thats around the 23rd century BC. --Skatewalk 01:04, 6 August 2007 (UTC)

The Nabateans comes from Qidar--Alameer 10:31, 8 August 2007 (UTC)

I am still not sure about removing the nabateans, because:

Although Qidar was not Adnani (He was still came after Ismail). Ismail lived among the Qahtani tribe Jurhum. Eventualy Ismail's lineage became the cheifs of Jurhum.

The Question is, Did Qidar go to the North by himself or as a leader of a portion of Jurhum?

If he went to the North as a leader of Jurhum, doesn't that make them Qahtani? And I read alot about teh Nabateans, no one knew their true origin. All we know is that they spoke North Arabic derived of Aramiac.(at that time the whole neareast spoke Aramiac at variant dialects so the language is not agood indicator, other than its gradual shift into Arabic (Migration influence?)--Skatewalk 09:52, 11 August 2007 (UTC)
