shukran Ilan. I agree. However, when you want to talk about meat in general without referring to a specific type, you use “لحم”. The terms you added are a useful addition.

I’d like to offer a slight modification to one of your translations. You translated “لحم” as “meat.” While this is technically correct, it almost always refers to red meat (lamb, beef, or a combination of the two—I don’t know if pork would be included). I’ve never heard it refer to chicken or fish, which have their own meal-specific words (دجاج وسمك, respectively).
