Although both terms are correct but Mohammad has a point; ammunication could be loaded on trucks to be transported (نقل) to the designated destination being a depot or a unit for immediate use or, for whatever reason, it could be transferred (نحويل) en route at a transfer/tranzit point from one truck(s) to another once or several times before it reaches its destination. I wish the borrowed word tranzit could be used just like when cargo or passengers are transported through an intermediary-transfer or tranzit point!!!

I know that but it is not applicable here, that's why I asked you "from where did you get the context?" (that you have posted)

Mohammad Gornas Jun 5, 2011:

Sit Liliane I thought u would see that I was only giving an example were the term (transfer) may be used to mean something else than (نقل)

Liliane Hatem Jun 5, 2011:

Why not, but this is not the case here, the context is different in spite of any expertise!!! By the way, mine is 39 years.
