Muad'Dib
Muad'Dib is a fictional desert mouse within Frank Herbert's ''Dune'' universe. It is also the name for a constellation of stars and is taken as a name by the first novel's hero, Paul Atreides.
==''Dune'' glossary==
(詳細はDune'', Herbert provides the following definition:
MUAD'DIB: the adapted kangaroo mouse of Arrakis, a creature associated in the Fremen earth-spirit mythology with a design visible on the planet's second moon. This creature is admired by Fremen for its ability to survive in the open desert.
In addition to the moon, there is also a constellation called Muad'Dib in the sky of Arrakis; its tail points to the north, resulting in it being known as "The One Who Points the Way."
Herbert derived the Fremen messianic religion vocabulary from real-world Arabic. In Arabic, مؤدّب ''mu’addib'' means "educator",〔Hans Wehr (1994). ''Dictionary of Modern Written Arabic''. ISBN 0-87950-003-4.〕 "he who disciplines/teaches manners" or "chastiser".〔Wortabet, John. Porter, Harvey. ''Pocket Dictionary English-Arabic Arabic-English''. Librarie du Liban.〕〔Wright, W. ''A Grammar of the Arabic Language''. Cambridge University Press. ISBN 0-521-09455-0.〕 ''Ad'dab'' or ''A'adaab'' أدب are "manners" or "literature". In ''Dune'', Herbert writes that the Fremen call the Muad'Dib mouse "instructor-of-boys."〔
