Words
I went to the Scrabble World Championships on Sunday and started wondering why I love Scrabble so much. Then someone posted a comment on my blog about a development called The Pearl currently being built in Qatar and I remembered that the Arabic world for pearl, Lu'hlu'h, is one of my favorite Arabic words because it’s consists of a syllable repeated. All my other favorite Arabic words, like ‘filfil’ (pepper) or ‘waTwaT’’(bat) follow the same pattern. There’s something really beautiful about how words are constructed, which is why I think I appreciate Scrabble.
