Rawdas

[edit]

@User:Elspamo4: Hi - could you clarify the word "rawdas"? it doesn't seem to appear in the sources. Is it just the Arabic for "garden"? commented out pro tem. Ingratis (talk) 12:36, 22 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]

@User:Ingratis Hey, yeah upon further inspection it doesn't appear in any of the sources. I got the definition from Qatar's GIS: "The Arabic word "Rawda" refers to "a fertile area situated on a depression receiving plenty of run-off water and water-borne sediments"." It's often used interchangeably with depressions, at least by the GIS, so I must've figured that defining it would clear up any confusion encountered in looking for sources, but it looks like it isn't used by any sources for this particular species, so I'm fine with removing it.

@User:Elspamo4 - that's very helpful - thank you very much for the clarification. That definition's worth keeping in sight - I've added it to the article on Rawda.Ingratis (talk) 22:40, 23 July 2019 (UTC)[reply]
