Small correction, it is actually " ال سلام " , or "As-Salaam" (the L in AL elides with "shams" letters). It would also be inappropriate for you to receive such a greeting, which is a du'a reserved for muslims only. Since you are using the name "Eris, is the name of a "deity", it is safe to assume you are not a muslim. :) It is also "As-salaamu", there is a "damma" or "u" vowel atop then meem in "salaam". "marhaban" is a more appropriate greeting in this case. On Wed, Aug 20, 2008 at 2:51 AM, Eris Discordia <eris.discordia <at> gmail.com> wrote: > Do me a favor.
