-Even if Asad’s definition of ''sulb'' as the male loins (in the modern sense of the word loins, rather than its old meaning of the lower back) is accepted, it is a stretch to accept that sexual reproduction is the consequence of a union between the male loins and the female pelvic arch. Asad does not claim ''tara’ib'' means the pelvis, but the pelvic arch which is a specific part of the pelvis. Moreover it is merely his own speculative definition of tara'ib (he says, "rendered by me").
+Asad's own invented definition of ''tara’ib'' is not that it means the pelvis, but the pelvic arch which is a specific part of the pelvis.

Moreover 'pelvic arch' is merely his own speculative definition of tara'ib (he says, "rendered by me") and he doesn't even give any evidence that tara'ib can mean 'arch of bones'.
