Comment: "Thank you, Ehab :). I think yours was the most suitable translation for my purposes, even though I ended up using a variant of the proposed term to suit the context and the spirit of the document I'm working on.
I also want to thank Noha and Zeinab for providing me with great alternatives. I suppose I ended up mixing and matching all of the proposed terms :)."
