peer agreement (net): +2
peer agreement (net): +2calico / linen Explanation: Just going by what I found in the dictionary, الكتان is defined as linen, while الخام is defined as calico or cotton cloth. In British English, "calico" refers to "a type of cotton cloth, typically plain white or unbleached." -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2016-10-21 18:25:34 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- According to Wikipedia, the word "muslin" is used in North America: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Calico -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 hrs (2016-10-21 18:30:58 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- For الكتان see the following: https://ar.wikipedia.org/wiki/كتان_(قماش) And: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Linen |
