Excuse me, could you please clarify for me what the Arabic term for "call daughter" would be? I'm a bit confused as the phrase itself doesn't seem to translate directly into a specific term in Arabic. Are you perhaps referring to a cultural or familial practice where a daughter is addressed in a particular way, or is there a specific term in Arabic that closely aligns with the concept of "calling" a daughter in a certain context? I'd appreciate any insight you could provide on this matter.
