^ p.n.; "The letters p.n. (proper name) after a name, mean either that it is a common Arabic personal appellation, or that it is a word to which no meaning can be assigned; the former will be at once recognized by the Arabic scholar, the latter will form interesting problems for future investigation.", according to Palmer, 1881, pp. preface, 225
