Re: [HCDX] what does "sawa" mean

["Glenn Hau-ser" <ghauser@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

``Together`` is the official translation of sawa, per initial publicity 
about the service. We in SW have been aware of it for a long time. There 
have been numerous reports about it in DX Listening Digest the past few 
months :)

I looked up "sawa" in my 4th edition of Hans Wehr Arabic-English.
Under the s-w- root (where letter s is the "siin" form) there is a
listing for  "  sawaa'  " which is "equality, sameness". I can't find
any such  listing under the S-w- root (where s is the "saad" form).
(note the long "a" form and the hamza, as well, lost in the English
transliteration).

So this program name may be intended to politicize the concept of
muslims being equal to non-muslims.  Just a thought.
