yes but what about the subclade ?

[Ayetooey]

yes but what about the subclade ?

Couldn't tell you, but Morley doesn't go very in depth and isn't very accurate with subclades, it got my subclade wrong. If you're really interested you should take an FTDNA y-dna test and get a deeper subclade that way. There's a sale on till the 28th.

You are a subclade under J1-P58. It is a semitic branch. Here is the Eupedia description

J1-P58, the Central Semitic branch of J1, appears to have expanded from the southern Levant (Israel, Palestine, Jordan) across the Arabian peninsula during the Bronze Age, from approximately 3,500 to 2,500 BCE. Camels were domesticated in Somalia and southern Arabia c. 3,000 BCE, but did not become widely used in the southern Levant before approximately 1,100 BCE. Camels played an important role in the further diffusion of J1-P58 lineages, notably with the Bedouins in the desertic parts of the Middle East and North Africa. Bedouins now make up a substantial percentage of the population of Sudan (33%), Libya (15%), the United Arab Emirates (8%) and Saudi Arabia (5%).

It is found in Western Asia. It could be associated with Arabian migrations.

but does it only means that the founder of my paternal lineage was arab or does it mean more than that ?

It says just that. Which is your paternal lineage. It is difficult to be sure where it comes from. It could be directly from Western Asia and it came in middle-Ages with the Arab expansion. A quite possible scenario is that it came from Muslims of Spain. It is know that many of them moved to Morocco.
