Untitled
[edit]This reminds me of the Roman atrium (architecture). Is there any ancestral relationship? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 128.148.38.26 (talk) 20:48, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
- There could very well be. I haven't found that specific bit of information yet, but it seems possible given the Roman presence in Palestine, Lebanon and the Levant in general. If I (or you) do find anything concrete, we can add it to the article. Happy hunting! Tiamut 23:56, 19 December 2007 (UTC)
disambig needed
[edit]This article does not show the subject different enough from Iwan. Correct me if I am wrong. Tar-ba-gan (talk) 17:48, 26 February 2008 (UTC)
- Do you mean to suggest that Iwans are the same as Liwans? That may be true, but we need to find some reliable sources that discuss both before attempting a merge. I'll try to locate some soon. Tiamuttalk 10:09, 27 February 2008 (UTC)
loanword
[edit]The Arabic is clearly a loan word from Farsi. The English simply reproduces the Arabic because it has no equivalent architectural feature of the sort. But it is not a loan word from Arabic. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Pamour (talk • contribs) 14:03, 27 September 2012 (UTC)
