The nut is also referred to as "mosht".

peg=key= moftaH.....keys= mafateeh
pegboard= "house of the keys"= bait el mafateeh
the nut= al anF
fingerboard= zind
the sides or edges of the fingerboard= al hijab
the holes= shamsia (also referred ot as "amaria")
............. shamsia may be specific to the rosettes while amaria= hole
string= wutar...... strings= awtaR
pikguard= al rokma
bridge= farass or jirs (or al ghazal)
fixed bride= ghazal thabit
floating bridge= "moveable bridge"= ghazal mutaharik
bottom of the oud (where strings of floating bridge are attached)= heel= al ka3b
the front of the oud= wish al oud
the back = DhaHr al oud
the bowl= I heard this called "al taSa"
the "ribs" that make up the bowl= al adla3
Hope this helps
