According to *A Dictionary of Modern Linguistic Terms* (Beirut 1983),

"head (of a microsegment)" is  / markazu  t-tarkiib /;

"head (of an intonation)" is / markazu  t-tanghiim /" and

"head word" is / al-kalimatu  l-markaziyyatu /. P. 35.

      The head of the wife, of course, is the husband (Bible).

"dependent clause" (p. 17) is / al-9ibaaratu  t-taabi9atu (ghayru

l-mustaqillati)/;  "dependent sound change" is / at-taghayyuru

S-Sawtiyyu  t-taabi9u \ al-mashruuTu /.

      Best wishes,

                                            Mike Schub
