قائمة مصطلحات Explanation: The word (مسرد) is not known for the common reader. The word (معجم) refers to something else. Therefore, I think it's better to use the above term. It is pronounced like (Kaimat Mustalahat), the main stress being on the last syllable in the second word. However, if the glossary comes as an appendix, we can also use (ملحق مصطلحات) This is pronounced like (Mulhaq Mustalahat). |

ترجُمان Explanation: Pronounced TARJUMAN or TURJUMAN The term is used in Farsi, Urdu, Turkish (Tercuman), and Arabic. It is traditionally used in reference to translators and interrpreters. These days, however, we prefer to use MUTARJIM. That leaves TARJUMAN ripe for recycling to be put to better use. I suggest we use it for glossary. The term "glossary" comes from the Latin term "glossa," which means, "foreign word requiring explanation," and ultimately comes from the Greek word for "tongue." Today we use "glossary" in the sense of "a list of difficult or specialized words with their definitions, often placed at the back of a book." (The American Heritage Dictionary). I find TARJUMAN a reasonable fit for this kind of meaning. Just another wild suggestion. Fuad American Heritage Dictionary Al-Munjid |
