<p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"><strong>Arabia Weather</strong> - Dr. Ahmed Al-Sharida - These days, the word &quot;weather&quot; is frequently used to denote the weather, its conditions, and its fluctuations. But did you know that this word is Syriac, not Arabic?!</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> The word “weather” is a Syriac word, and its origin in Syriac goes back to “weather” which means order, and in many villages they still say “weather shouba” meaning that the weather is hot, as the word “shop” is also Syriac Aramaic.</p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"></p><p style=";text-align:left;direction:ltr"> And the word &quot;weather&quot; was taken by the Arabic language to denote the climate system, the movement of the universe, and the fluctuations of conditions between summer, winter, and equinox. In church expressions, the word ritual is frequently used in the singular and in the plural, as they say “rituals”. Rituals are the systems in force in the masses and the arrangement of feasts and traditions throughout the year and from generation to generation.</p>
