Wool
*Wool: صوف،وبر، نسيج صوفي
**In addition to this link from Babylon Dict.:http://www.babylon.com/definition/wool/Arabic
wool:
صوف نسيج صوفى = ثوب من صوف وبر، زغب شعر الانسان شئ يحجب الحقيقة او يعوق التفاهم
Therefore, "Wool" means both :صوف الوبر
***Moreover, pls check this search:
http://www.google.com.eg/search?num=20&hl=en&newwindow=1&q=w...
-you'll see that it cannot be:"صوف الوبر" :"Wool of hair", for example...in this search you'll see that it is 2 diff. things, wool & animal hair, whereas your text is :"صوف الوبر".....
Thank you

صوفWool
وبر Fur
