dear all,
a query for Egyptian members on the list. In Edward al-Kharrat's short
story "taht al-gaami3", in the "Saa3aat al-Kibriyaa'" collection, I find
the following sentence (p12) in colloquial egyptian :

... el-3ayyela di abqa a3mel biiha eeh? ya3ni aakhretha yesiibha fe
aaraabiizi yebqa ya farheti ya hanaaya...

I don't understand "'aaraabiizi". Is it a location in Alexandria? An
orphanage?
