By way of apology for the recent tiff

[edit]

I note that in the 1924 cadastral map it figured as a unit in a region encompassing alsoDayr Sunayd, Huj and Deir al-Balah, the total Turkish dunam area of the four registerng as 120,000 dunams. Dov Gavish, The Survey of Palestine Under the British Mandate, 1920-1948, Routledge, 2005 p.123

There must be some reason for the grouping. Sometimes when a source allows, gathering in contiguous names of villages, then linked, enables the reader of each article to get a wider contextual perspective. Best Nishidani (talk) 16:15, 6 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]

User:Nishidani, hmm, to me it looks as if those 4 places represent the 4 corners of an area (there are many place between). And the total area is (much) larger than those 4 places had in the 1945 data. So I suspect that is the area of the land, which is defined between those 4 places, Huldra (talk) 20:47, 6 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
You're the expert, and of course, I defer to whatever you decide.Nishidani (talk) 21:30, 6 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
This was just a convenient area chosen for a cadastral survey. Probably it is a combination of village lands, but it has no meaning beyond that. Zerotalk 06:17, 7 April 2019 (UTC)[reply]
