I'm wanting to get a tattoo of the word "warrior" in reference of
someone who is engaged or experienced in battle.  I want it written in
Arabic, but cant find the written translation of the word.  I dont
want the translation to be in reference to a religous warrior or some
sort, but just the word warrior.  So what i am needing is to see the
written translation of the word "warrior" in arabic.

Hi mattyras,

If it's not inconvenient for you to wait, I will try and get access to
an arabic keyboard sometime tomorrow and provide you with the word you
are looking for.

Best regards,
Rainbow

Hi mattyras,

The translation for "warrior" is "muharreb", written like this:

  ?????

The font used in Google Answers is quite small. Therefore, to increase
the arabic text for better viewing, copy and paste it into a Word
Document. Then highlight and increase the font size.


Search strategy:
Personal knowledge of the Arabic language.

I hope this is helpful.

Best regards,
Rainbow

differently than it appears as you have it here.  is there anyway you
can get me a jpeg or pdf of the writing?

Hi mattyras,

I've saved it into a word document and uploaded it at the following url:

You can save and download the document to your hard drive. Let me know
if this works.

Best regards,

If I were going to have a tattoo in Arabic, I would try to find someone who could
write the word in one of the calligraphy scripts  - or at least use
letters from a source other than standard "word" font.

I don't know how or if this can be done here.
