re: #1206 John Neverbend

The three Arabic words for peace are salaam, sulh and hudna (it can be argued that the last one doesn’t mean peace at all). The first could be described as “peace through submission”. The root for the word submission also appears in “Islam”. Suhl means peace as in reconciliation. Hudna is akin to cease-fire.

Are you an Arabist? See my note to Kenneth.
