Yam

[edit]

In American English "Yam" is a root vegetable, which looks like a potato but has orange flesh. I can find no information explaining Yam as an Arabic Tribe in any disambiguation page here on Wikipedia, nor in the Marriam-Webster dictionary, nor in the Oxford English Dictionary. This made me decide it was vandalism. I replaced it with Ajman, but that makes some of the sentences awkward. This article need editing by someone well versed in the Arabic Tribes.

@Nwbeeson: It actually refers to Banu Yam, but I am grateful for your efforts to remove vandalism. Emir of Wikipedia (talk) 23:00, 22 June 2017 (UTC)[reply]
