-=[ What is the difference between 'Libaas' and 'Siyaab'? ]=-
-
Yalbisuna is a verb which means "dress", and thiab are one piece of clothes. Then I think there exists malabis, which are clothes in general. And there are other words of the same root, I am not sure if an of them refers to a particular habit or cloth or they are all general terms.

These two are effectively synonyms
Libaas is from labasa and it is synonymous with malbas. It just means clothing. Literally whatever you use as clothing. Where as thawb whose plura is thiyaab seem to be specific pieces of clothing to include any form of a qamees, izaar and ridaa. It would seem that thawb is associated with pieces of clothing that cover considerable sections of the body and libaas is whatever you use to clothe or cover any part or even all of the body. Very, VERY slight difference. The two can be used interchangeably as well. Ridaa' can also mean libaas. It seems this is another word with synonymous meaning. I'll look it up later. If you want I'll post the meaning here as well.

Is 'Libaas' referring to wearing? And 'Siyaab' is to garment?
I'll look it up later. If you want I'll post the meaning here as well.
