dear friends,

was wondering if anyone could spot the correct sense for the following
phrase:   al-aqrab bi-l-aqrab

the sense seems to be islamic/rabbinic legalistic: perhaps something to
do
with inheritance. i'm not sure what the preposition bi- is doing there
either, unless it's a persianism....
