Regarding the names, they are in Arabic rather than Aramaic. Aramaic is a
related language and usually held to be the progenitor of Hebrew and Arabic.
I can understand all the Hebrew pronouns and quite a few of the nouns,
although the verbs leave me guessing. I named my colt Nazeer after his
great-grandfather and because it also means "the far-seeing one". Arabic is
a very rich language and words have many meanings and usages. The other colt
was named Nayzak, which is "meteor" in Arabic. This was before we discovered
just how fast the monster was and how high he could jump. Maybe he decided
that he had to live up to his name...though his stable name is Monkeylips
because he is almost totally white on the front of his face and his lips. My
daughter on seeing him the day of his birth commented on the long legs and
pink lips and said, "Great, Mom, so this is what you get when you cross a
chimpanzee with a giraffe!"

This is from memory, so someone with the arab CD can correct me if I'm
wrong.
Ansata Ibn Halima is by Nazeer out of Halima. Nazeer is by Mansour out of
Bint Samiha. Halima is by Sheikh El Arab. Sheikh El Arab is by Mansour. So
Ansata Ibn Halima is linebred 37 1/2% Mansour. The cross of Nazeer on Sheikh
El Arab daughters was a good one. I think the Nazeer son Aswan is out of
Yosreia (Sheikh El Arab x Hind by Balance). So is Ibn Galal.(?) Zamal and
Layya aren't familiar to me. Anyone out there know if these are also EAO
horses? (Egyptian Agricultural Organization). Ansata Ibn Halima was imported
by Judith Forbis in the 70's (?). Mansour means victorious. Nazeer means
that
which pleases the eye. No wonder I can't find my car keys, my brain is
filled
up with this stuff! Someone let me know if I screwed up too bad!
