Sorry I do not write or speak Arabic as well as I use too. Between 2004-2005 Dr. Osama Elnur, published several of my articles in ARKAMANI Sudan Electronic Journal of Archaeology and Anthropology. I do not know if the Arabic translation is fine because I can not read Arabic. These translations may  help you understand the vocabulary items I use to read Meroitic Inscriptions. If you want to discuss these terms I can only discuss them in English, as a result I provide the English and Dr. Elnur Arabic translations of my articles.
