The Arabic language evolved slowly across the millennia, leaving little
undened, no nuance shaded. translates literally as house, but its
connotations resonate beyond rooms and walls, summoning longings
gathered about amily and home. In the Middle East, b is sacred. Em-
pires all. Nations topple. Borders may shi or be realigned. Old loyalties
may dissolve or, without warning, be altered. Home, whether it be struc-ture or amiliar ground, is, nally, the identity that does not ade.
