You can piggyback on synonyms when you feel you are getting closer to what you want. Searching is, after all, an intuitive process. <br /><br />Google has provided many dynamic user-generated applications that are becoming even better than traditional resources. Wikis are another good example of user-generated resources. <br /><br />I am guessing that Google (and other online search tools) can be used in other ways to produce thesauruses by harnessing other existing online resources. <br /><br />We can&#39;t wait for an Arabic thesaurus, we can develop one ourselves and the potentials today are limitless. We just have to be creative.Lina Malkawihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18155651588504132921noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3945367744819649825.post-29062383094192126932012-02-08T18:59:55.121-05:002012-02-08T18:59:55.121-05:00Hello Lina, Thx for the tip. <br /><br />By doing this you can leave out an expansive set of Arabic word synonyms that the English language simply does not possess in its lexicon.<br /><br />For example, the Arabic language contains 14 different names for the word, Lion, each with a slightly different meaning, but all fundamentally describing Lion. Another example, is &quot;Sword&quot;. of course there are thousands more.<br /><br />While the method you suggested is quite useful, it is also limiting. I am still searching for a complete thesaurus. <br /><br />I recall using محيط المحيط when I was in school but I cannot find that section of it online.<br /><br />Have you, or anyone, had any success finding one?Fadihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01062409339590166198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3945367744819649825.post-91480613254610288062011-04-09T19:44:56.664-04:002011-04-09T19:44:56.664-04:00Jazakom Allaho Khairan!<br /><br />I always wished I had the time and knowledge to write a complete Arabic Thesaurus.
