Subject: Translation of Terms Response

A rough equivalent of Gharad/Aghrad would be "authorial intention" in
English literary terminology. I would render Fikra/Afkar as "stock images"
or "conventional images/symbols". I can't think of an equivalent of
Ma'na/Ma'ani  except perhaps "associations".

I know there is a tri-lingual dictionary (Arabic/English/French) of
literary terms by, if I remember correctly, Magdi Wahba.
