How to say "descendants, offspring" in Arabic

Even Arab grammarians argue over dhurriyya's root — dharaʾa, 'to scatter, to multiply in abundance', or dharā, 'to winnow grain to the wind'. Either version pairs naturally with Hebrew zeraʿ (זרע, 'seed, offspring'): 'sowing/scattering' as the shared root-metaphor for descendants, and the first two radicals correspond regularly (dh↔ז, r↔ר). It's the disputed final radical — a hamza with no clean Hebrew match — that keeps this from being a textbook cognate rather than a suggestive one.
