Book
A book is a medium for recording information in the form of writing or images, typically composed of many pages (made of papyrus, parchment, vellum, or paper) bound together and protected by a cover. The technical term for this physical arrangement is '' codex'' (plural, ''codices''). In the history of hand-held physical supports for extended written compositions or records, the codex replaces its predecessor, the scroll. A single sheet in a codex is a leaf and each side of a leaf is a page. As an intellectual object, a book is prototypically a composition of such great length that it takes a considerable investment of time to compose and still considered as an investment of time to read. In a restricted sense, a book is a self-sufficient section or part of a longer composition, a usage reflecting that, in antiquity, long works had to be written on several scrolls and each scroll had to be identified by the book it contained. Each part of Aristotle's ''Physics'' is called a ...

Kithaab
''Kithaab'', also ''Kitab'' (), is a Malayalam-language play featuring a humorous portrayal of a young girl who dreams of calling out the Azaan (''vaang''), the Islamic call to worship normally recited by a male muezzin or mukri. The girl questions the subjugation of women in her community, and rebels against community norms by dancing with her friends, stealing food denied to her, and demanding the opportunity to call the vaang. The play is written by scriptwriter-director Rafeeq Mangalassery. It was released in November 2018 in the Indian state of Kerala, at a time when the women's rights movement was taking shape, asking for the right to worship in Sabarimala temple; for Muslim women's right to participate in religious rituals; and for gender equality in religious spaces, including the appointment of women as Imams, and participating in and leading prayers at mosques. Inspiration Rafeeq Mangalassery said his drama ''Kithaab'' was not directly based on the story of Vaangu ...

K-T-B
K-T-B ( he, כ-ת-ב ; ar, ك-ت-ب ) is a triconsonantal root of a number of Semitic words, typically those having to do with writing. The words for "office", "writer" and "record" all reflect this root. Most notably, the Arabic word ''kitab'' ("book") is also used in a number of Semitic and Indo-Iranian languages, as well as Turkish. One cultural example would be the Mishnaic expression ''Katuv'' or the cognate Arabic expression transliterated as ''Maktoub'', which may be translated as "it is written". Another would be the ''Koutoubia'' mosque of Marrakech, whose name is taken from the librarians and booksellers who once occupied that area. Arabic derivatives A full account of derivatives could be extensive, but some of them are these: :''kataba'' كَتَبَ or كتب "he wrote" (masculine) :''katabat'' كَتَبَت or كتبت "she wrote" (feminine) :''katabtu'' كَتَبْتُ or كتبت "I wrote" (f and m) :''kutiba'' كُتِبَ or كتب "it was written" (mascu ...
