Fwd: Re: [Lexicog] Equivalents for German "Heimat"

[mohd hans]

Hello dear LEXICOGRAPHERS:
The German word Heimat reminds me of the word Kheimat or Kheima "tent".  For a desert dweller, it means his home, homeland, beloved home... etc.
A more nationalistic word used nowadays is watan. ( t , here, is an emphatic consonant).
A more sentimenal word is: balad.
