Introduction

al-uṣūl (sing. aṣl – that from which other things branch): here the term refers to houses, land, shops, mills, oil-presses, and similar immovable properties, as well as the trees themselves.

al-thimār (sing. thamara, pl. athmār): the produce borne by those trees, a designation broader than what is merely edible.
