MY REPLY:

In many instances I elaborated on our Assyrian nation, that you refuse to accept, but to connected with what the English dictionaries came up with. Then why as I said before bother myself to define it, when you don't accept?

Furthermore, in the same SOURCE ( English Dictionary ) of ' New World Dictionary ' on page 946:

The third definition which says ,' THE PEOPLE or TRIBE ';esp a tribe of N. America ( and why not of N. Mesopotamia ?).
