Subject:Questions on Abuu-, abaa' abii'

Dear Colleagues,
      (A serious linguistic) question:  Our top general in Iraq was  
recently Gen.  Abizeid.  Why is this his name

instead of Abuu-Zayd, or Abaa-Zayd??  {Perhaps someone can contact him  
directly,and ask}.

       And is it true that Sibawayhi reported that one idividual named  
his three sons:  Abdullah, Abdallah, and

Abdilla?

                                                                                                         Mike
