Barzakh برزخ
isthmus (technical Akbarian; the intermediate ontological zone between two orders)
Barzakh (برزخ) — “Isthmus” preserves the topological metaphor (the narrow joining strip) that the Akbarian cosmology relies on. The barzakh both separates and connects; “limbo” implies only separation, “intermediate state” loses the active joining function.
