	\|		\|Al-Layth said: Al-Šams, the sun is the source of brightness (Arabic ضِحّ, ḍiḥḥ). He meant that the sun is the heavenly body that travels in its orbit, and that the ḍiḥḥ is its light, which shines upon the earth.

	\|		\|ʿUṭārid: from restlessness or agitation, because to the eye it seems to be dancing. It could also mean “provision”; one says: ʿaṭrid hāḏā ʿindak — “keep this as a reserve with you,” meaning “a supply.” It may have been named so because it never leaves the sun, as if it were attached to it as a provision.

			This encyclopaedia is written in English, but makes use of the incredibly rich work by Paul Kunitzsch (largely in German) and Roland Laffitte (in French). With fast translation from these langeuages to English, we apologise for possible transliteration errors in cases where these languages follow different conventions. Therefore, we give this table:
