waste canvas خيش نفائي Explanation: never heard of "waste canvas" -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 20 hrs (2008-01-08 16:31:57 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- I have no idea what نفائي means, really. I just made it up. ;) I was hoping a native speaker might be able to improve on it. The English original is odd; I'm not entirely sure what it means and why they chose those terms. I think it means something like "canvas that is intended to be waste, i.e. only used during construction, then discarded." -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 20 hrs (2008-01-08 16:33:42 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- See http://crossstitch.about.com/od/glossa2/g/wastecanvas.htm -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 22 hrs (2008-01-08 18:13:52 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- maybe something like qawaam mu'aqqat li-nasj? I think you're going to need a descriptive semantic equivalent rather than a translation. -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 2 days23 hrs (2008-01-10 19:43:34 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- Hmm, this is a tough one. An American would not understand "waste canvas", but could google it. That's probably not the case for your readers; would they understand "kanva mu'aqqatah?" I would try to include something suggesting "loom", "matrix", or "armature", since that's the function of the waste canvas. kanva mu'aqqatah ka-minwaal? Or minwaal kanvasiy mu'aqqatah? In any case, I think you need a phrase that explains the concept. Hope that helps. |
