Kwail County
Kwail is a kun, or county, in South Hwanghae province, North Korea.  It faces the Yellow Sea to the west.

The economy of the county is based on the production of fruit. Kwail was created in 1967 from part of Songhwa County, with the intention of making the entire cultivated area of the county into "100 li of blooming orchards".  The name Kwail is a Korean word meaning "fruit," and doesn't correspond to any Chinese characters.  This makes Kwail County one of the few counties in Korea whose name cannot be written in hanja; for another such county, see Saebyŏl. Marshal Kim Jong Un visited Kwail county in September 2017.

The Santa Fe operated all 14 on various streamlined trains until it conveyed its passenger trains to Amtrak in 1971.

The company failed after 10 years despite the popularity of the service on its primary route, which parallels busy Interstate 95 in five states along the eastern U.S. coast.

After a hiatus, a similarly named and operated service, Auto Train, began under the government-financed Amtrak in 1983, which became one of the railroad's most popular services.

Jebel Usays inscription
The Jebel Usays inscription (or Jabal Usays, Jabal Says) is a small rock graffito dating to 528 AD, located at the site of Jabal Says, an ancient volcano in the basaltic steppe lands of southern Syria. It is written in the Paleo-Arabic script. Only two other inscriptions written in the Paleo-Arabic scripts are known from Syria: the Zabad inscription, dating to 512, and the Harran inscription dating to 567–568. All three are connected to the Jafnids.

Paleo-Arabic
Paleo-Arabic (or Palaeo-Arabic, previously called pre-Islamic Arabic or Old Arabic) is a pre-Islamic script used to write Arabic. Used between the fifth and seventh centuries, it evolved out of the Nabataeo-Arabic script, and was superseded by the standardized Arabic that developed in the Islamic era. The word "Paleo-Arabic" was first coined by Christian Robin using the French expression "paléo-arabe".

Paleo-Arabic was first documented in inscriptions in Syria and Jordan, but has since been found in Western Arabia (the Hejaz), where over fifty Paleo-Arabic inscriptions have now been found, and in South Arabia. The only god mentioned in these inscriptions is Allah. These inscriptions are always Christian when more detailed religious information is available, a finding that is considered informative for understanding the religious history of late pre-Islamic Arabia.

Paleo-Arabic inscriptions are publicly uploaded to the DiCoNab database.
