For those of interest; an excellent site on the subject matter....to include semantics and linguistics.

Indeed.
 
And to change the subject for a moment....as you predicted...I am finding the paucity of info on pre-Islamic worship prior to the great Prophet...irritating to say the least. I ntl am stumbling thru the Ad and Majan's at this point.
 
Call me stubborn if nothing else. Send me links if ya got em.
 
Be well.

Didn't catch what you mean by Ad and Majan's... Care to explain?

But all in all I can tell you that info is so scarce... I'm starting to think that most pagan Arabs were Jewish idolators a bit like what happened during the time of Elijah... It's a theory and it's just as good as any other seeing as info is so scarce.

Very interesting, didn't know there was a thriving culture in the southern Arabian Peninsula so far back.

About 'Ad some people think it may be a reference to the old city of Ubar.
