------------------------------------------------------- Ishinan: Interesting in your response, is the use of "derecha" (sic) which I presume you mean 'derek' from 'darak'; a road (as trodden) hence a pathway, as in Prov 12:28. In Hebrew: from 'darak' a road (as trodden); figuratively, a course of life or mode of action, often adverb:--along, away, because of, by, conversation, custom, (east-) ward, journey, manner, passenger, through, toward, (high-) (path-)way(-side), whither(-so ever). ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Arabic has two cognates 'T.rq' and 'drg' (actually both are variations of two dialects in Old Arabic) The first: T.rq Al-T.ariyq: the road, way, path, track. ??????????? ?????? ??????? ?????? ?????? ????: ???????? ??????? ????????? ?????????? ????? ??????? ?????? ???????? ?????? ?????? ?????: ???????. ????: ?? ??? ???? ??? ??????? ????? ??? ??? ???? ????? ---------------------------------------- ????? ???????

"to follow or trace the footsteps of," 1560s, from track (n.). Related: Tracked; tracking. Middle Low German trecken, Old High German trechan "to draw". --------------------------------------------------------------------- Ishinan Ishibashi
