Dear Keri,
there is a dialect in Upper Egypt which has ma- instead of the usual  
bi- as a prefix, presumably derived from ma3a < 3ama < 3ammaal. It is  
Silwa BaHari, as far as I remember. You have to check this in the  
Egyptian dialect atlas (P.Behnstedt, M. Woidich, Die ägyptisch- 
arabischen Dialekte. Vol.2. Wiesbaden 1985).
Best,
Manfred Woidich
