A she-camel does not couch except among other camels
-Arabic proverb
B-R-K is a double edged triliteral root, its Ist Form transitive and intransitive verb meaning To Bless and To Couch [a camel]. Add to that what a dog does in English and this Arabic proverb goes in a multitude of directions. Kh-Kh-Kh-Kh, KhairAllah might say to the Naaqa to drop her to her knees. Arf-Arf-Arf, a Kalb might Yinbah, Bark, at the passing caravan. Gesundheit, Prussian Egyptologist Karl Richard Lepsius might have said after sneezing at the sight of Meröe’s littlest pyramids, instead of- not Barak Allah Alayk, God Bless You, but rather more correctly- Alhamdulillah, Praise Allah.
