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