** Note 006:078. The Arabic words اَهِلَّةِ (Aa-hil-lah in verse 002:190) describes a new or thin moon and قَمَرَ (Qa-ma-ra in verse 006:078 and 041:038) describes a full, complete or circular moon. Their relatively equivalent English words are crescent (curved, hemispherical or semi-circular) and moon (circular or full).
