In fact, Riqa’ is (one of) the plurals of Roq’a Roq’a meaning sheet or patch. A dictionary of Arabic meanings http://www.almaany.com/ar/dict/ar-ar/الرقاع/ http://www.almaany.com/ar/dict/ar-ar/الرقعة/ gives one of the definitions of Roq’a (and thus Riqa’) as “a piece of paper or leather on which one writes” الرُّقْعةُ : قطعةٌ من الورق أو الجلد يكتب فيها That suits to us... Some other dictionary has the same position. http://dictionnaire.sensagent.com/خط%20الرقعة/ar-ar/ http://dictionnaire.sensagent.com/رقاع%20%28خط%29/ar-ar/ Comment: Like other scripts, Roq’a has an history and many authors/artists . Some literature talk about Roq’a, some other talk about and Riqa’ and some both. I suspect they talk about the same script, but I am wondering if there is a reason (regional or historical?) why some says Riq’a and others Roq’a. So I am going do some further investigation just to have it clear.
