yes, as u say the word balagha pronounced as it is written in english means "he came".
it is a verb in past tense with reference to the pronoun he or howa in arabic
that word in arabic is written as بلغ
as you notice, a three letter word
but that is not the word that was referred to in the previous posts

the other word is balaaagha which when written in arabic is spelt differently
the word is بلاغة which as you can see is a 5 letter word and has a totally different meaning. it is in fact a noun and not a verb.
so yes , i am inclined to agree with the fact that you might need arabic lessons although i would recommend that next time u try to learn arabic IN ARABIC not in ENGLISH!
