The news of late is filled with many contries of the mid east-- Afganistan, Tajikistan, Uzbekistan, Turkmenistan, and cities such as Jalalabad, or Islamabad or Ashgabat and i am wondering about these endings.. Sahib is from the Urdu Saab, and I wondering if the these ending have a meaning (land of? City of?) and if they have come into english.. a surprizing number of english words do trace back something similar to the urdu.. and/or if there are other more common words that use these roots. (of course i can't think of any!)
