Oar

English to Arabic Social Sciences Transport / Transportation / Shipping
Before you post your answer, I would like to draw your attention to the difference between oar and paddle,
oar is fixed in the oarlock at the side of a boat, we row with oars
paddle is held by the paddler, which is not fixed, we paddle with a paddle.
as far as I know, in Arabic, it seems to me that both of them are called مجداف

Is this the case? or can we distinguish them in Arabic by two different names as we do in English?

Thanks in advance!
