Incidentally I'm always struck by how different ejectives can sound in different places. Like... I recognise what this lady is doing is not voiced, voiceless or aspirated... but I'm not sure I would've recognised as an ejective, haha.

It's probably worth adding that this expressions has a rather more common application than Dutch "Joost mag het weten" which I'm not sure I've ever said myself (and is very informal), while aLLâhu 'a3lam is a perfectly legitimate way of "resolving" a bunch of competing opinions in Islamic sciences.

Die ken ik, maar is wel echt niet in mijn eigen spreektaal.

(beat me to it)

Arabic: aLLâhu 'a3lam "God is most-knowing" or more colloquially: "God knows best".

Amazing!

Not sure if we did, but I do know word-initial *f of course shifts to /h/ in Spanish (retained on the Canary Islands and eventually lost (everywhere?) on the mainland). But there's quite a number of cases of hypercorrect spellings of borrowed /h/ written with /f/ it seems.

Missed opportunity for a rhyming solition: "a dictionary of non-classical vocables in the spoken arabic of lebanese locals"

Irish not beating the allegations of secretly being Semitic.

Their soul, obviously :-)

Hahah, yeah. 😅

I was told today that apparently doctors advice against blowing your nose, because there's a danger of infection in your I don't know what you call it, voorhoofdholtes.

So... maybe you should tell yourself that all of us dutchies are just being very careful to not have infectiones like that?!

I like al-Ikhlas!

Well at least the author instructions of those journals don't say they accept .TeX files...
