Thanks for the complement. أثلجت صدري :)

No, I don't know any online glossary. I depend on searching (guessing and verifying).

You could use Al-khateeb dictionary. You could borrow it from me if you live near cairo :)

كنت على وشك وضع توضيح بأن المرونية غير التثاقلية، لقد وفرت علي بسؤالك، التثاقلية هي:

gravitational potential energy
وتعريفها:
The potential energy a body has by virtue of its position in the
gravitational field of other bodies.

Note from asker:
You know what you are, Abdu? A life saver :) Thanks a ton! BTW, do you know any online EN<>AR physics glossary?
Thanks :) How generous! Actually I already have it but do not have access to it at the moment. That is why I'll probably give my Proz friends a headache tonight :)
But you never said anything about تثاقلية, Abdelmonem. Any ideas?
Thumbs up for that Arabic one :) I owe you, my friend :)
