How to say "descendants, offspring" in Arabic

Even Arab grammarians argue over dhurriyya's root — dharaʾa, 'to create, to multiply', or dharā, 'to scatter, to winnow'. It looks like a match for Hebrew zeraʿ (זרע, 'seed, offspring'), but זרע has its own exact Arabic twin, zarʿ (زرع, 'sowing, crops'), with z rather than dh. If dhurriyya comes from dharā, its real Hebrew cousin is zara (זרה, 'to scatter, winnow') — but with the root disputed, treat the seed image as a memory hook, not a cognate.
