While there is evidence that ''sulb'' can mean “hardening” and thus, the penis, there is no evidence that ''tara’ib'' can mean the vagina. Bucaille and Giraud appear to have assumed that ''tara’ib'' means the ’sexual areas of the woman’, without providing supporting evidence. Even if ''tara'ib'' means what Bucaille and Giraud want it to mean, the term, 'sexual areas of the woman' is too vague to be meaningful. To assume that it means the vagina is merely an assumption, and may constitute the logical fallacy of equivocation. | While there is evidence that ''sulb'' can mean “hardening” and thus, the penis, there is no evidence that ''tara’ib'' can mean the vagina.
