[RC] Hidaya El Ansu - Betty Edgar


Thank you, Maryanne.  I was hoping you'd see my post and respond.  Hidaya is
pronounced with a short i (Hid 'a ya).  She is truly a gift to me.

Hidaya is one of the possible spellings of the Arabic word for gift.
That is the most likely meaning for it.  We also have a bird of prey
called a Hedaiya (pronounced Head eye a), but that is less likely. The
problem is that the subtleties of pronunciation are totally lost in
transliteration (the changing of Arabic letters for English).

Can anyone help me with the meaning of the Arabic word Hidaya?  I'd
like to
learn what I can about it since Hidaya El Ansu is the name of my new
mare
who is meant to be my next endurance horse.  It's been a very long dry
spell
for me while searching for the right endurance horse after retiring
Dez in
2000.  He's now 22 and still enjoying camping and exploring new
mountain
trails.
