Shari H: In Nilly's absence, I'll take the liberty of saying that Kwisatz Haderach, which is translated in Dune as "the shortening of the way" is close to Hebrew (which has no "w", but "haderech" does mean "the way"). Most of the Fremen words and names in Dune seem to me to be more Arabic-sounding and Arabic does have a "w". YourTranslation-of-semitic-languagesMayVary
