قائم

English translation: Existing

07:01 Jul 12, 2006
Arabic to English translations [PRO]
Law/Patents - Law: Contract(s) / Land Purchase Agreement
Arabic term or phrase: قائم
The following appears in an Egyptian land purchase agreement, signed in 2006.

قطعة الأرض محل البيع موضحة بالرسم الكروكي المرفق، وحدودها كالتالي
الحد الشمالي: أرض ملك الدولة
الحد الجنوبي: المحور الرئيسي للقطاع بعرض 75م - قائم
الحد الشرقي: أرض ملك الدولة
الحد الغربي: طريق رقم 10 بعرض 45م - قائم

The word قائم appears in both instances in parentheses following the width dimension. What does it signify?

Thank you very much:
Fuad Yahya
English translation:Existing
Explanation:
I bleive that قائم here does not describe the angle. It means the existence of the "dimensions", that is, they are already there.
See here:
http://www.eeaa.gov.eg/arabic/main/grylstprj.asp

So I believe that قائم is not to be viewed as an angle.

upright


Explanation:
تخميني (مجرد تخمين ليس أكثر) أن هذا التعبير يستخدم عند وصف أبعاد الأشياء التي قد تكون منبعجة، عندما نقول على الطول
upright
نحن نعني طول الخط المستقيم الوصل بين طرفي الأرض، بغض النظر عن انبعاج الحدود الخارجية.

في الرابط التالي: يوصف طول القارب كالآتي:
Overall Length (Upright) 66"

والله أعلم المقصود كما أشرت، أن القارب قد يكون منبعجاً (ليس مربعاً يمكن قياس طوله وعرضه بسهولة) لذلك أِشارت كلمة
upright
إلى الطول المستقيم من الطرف الأدنى إلى الطرف الأقصى.

Asker: The overall length is not that of the boat, but the packer. It is 66 inches upright (standing up). The packer is straight, with no curves.

  -> Many thanks, dear MElHelw. I really appreciate it. I think this is the right inference of the meaning.
agree  atef Sharia: It could be, if المحور الرئيسي means road or something like this
4 days
  -> That's what I thought of. Only roads can have such width as 75m. Also the western border is "road", so I think the southern is the same. Many thanks, dear Atef.

Aggregate


Explanation:
Aggregate

The aggregate width is 45 meters.
I guess this could happen if the bordering line is not a straight line or if it is in more than one piece or zigzagged.

right-of-way


Explanation:
This is translation that I can't prove to be "right"

However I have found the expression in some references that are identical to the text that Mr. Fuad has provided above. I think that the word "قائم" might bear meanings other than "perpendicular" or "availability" or "existence". Perhaps there is another meaning in that jargon, that we might not know yet. I know that right-of road is "حق الطريق" and am expecting a lot of disagreements, but I would like to share views with you guys.


Example sentence(s):
  • East Boundary Eighth Street / Old Railroad Right of Way
