7يَخرُجُ مِن بَينِ الصُّلبِ وَالتَّرائِبِMuhammad Asadissuing from between the loins [of man] and the pelvic arch [of woman].1The plural noun tara'ib, rendered by me as "pelvic arch", has also the meaning of "ribs" or "arch of bones"; according to most of the authorities who have specialized in the etymology of rare Quranic expressions this term relates specifically to female anatomy (Taj al-'Arus).
