Well, I can't speak for Catherine....I only speak for myself when I
say "coooooool". I am student of Arabic and have always been
fascinated by linquistics and etymology of words, especially the
crossover from one language to another. One of the reasons that i
find Arabic so fascinating and satisfying is this concept of the
three root letters and the words that grow from this root. And then
to find that the root of henna is "tenderness"...very, very
interesting.

And then to cross over into english, I would assume that the english
name "Hannah" probably has Semitic roots, specifically HNN.

Thank you so much for sharing your particular insight on this. And
keep it coming.
