Talk:Sabil

VERY problematic page

[edit]

Sabil is the most common spelling for what is now titled Sebil (fountain). Once that page gets "sabil" as its appropriate title, or at least: as a redirect, this page will become a headache. Then at the latest it should be connected to that page as a proper disamb. page, starting with the common noun and continuing with related geographical names. Somebody knowledgeable should look into the etymology of the two towns listed here, I suppose their name is directly related to either the Arabic word "sabil" for way, path, or "sabil" as public (roadside) fountain. Then the connection can be pointed out and combining the two becomes easier. ArmindenArminden (talk) 22:09, 12 August 2016 (UTC)[reply]
