<p class="MsoNormal">I am wondering if I can request opinions regarding a term.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I have a document in Arabic script that has the word [arsidiqn]. I have found one transcription by González Palencia where he states this word means ‘generic seller’ in Andalusí Arabic but I have not found this in any of the relevant dictionaries
or other supporting sources.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Could anyone confirm that this absolutely means <i>only </i>
seller or could it mean something else? Like archiduque or archidean?</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">The difference here would be significant in how I read this document.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"> </p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Thank you,</p>
