Thank you. First, please forgive my poorly constructed phrase "continued shared learning" that could have given a wrong impression; I should have said "any learning that you could continue to share".
On the subject at hand, thank you so very much for all those precious references. I realize that I have forgotten to ask some basic questions: What is the root or literal meaning of the word Iraq/ iraaqi? Is this the exact same word used to refer to the country of Iraq? (What does the name of the country mean?) Is iraaqi also used sometimes in ancient Persian literature to refer to the Persian language and not just an adjective related to the country of Iraq? Also, is the long cited passage of the Gospel of Matthew (Iqan, page 24) the only Gospel passage in the Iqan that is quoted in Arabic? Are all the rest quoted in Persian?
