It is written in the burning sands of the Sahara: ‘When there is wrong, there will always be an El Khobar, the Avenger…’
-The Desert Song (1953), Musical starring Gordon MacRae as El Khobar
Hollywood evidently got both the spelling and the meaning wrong, El Khobar should be Al-Kubbār, The Big One. Spelling it with the consonant Kh, خ , gets into a different triliteral root with a different set of meanings, beginning with Khabīr, Expert, or in the Sudanese sense, Trail Boss, Expert of Camels, as was KhairAllah, albeit a less expert singer of schmaltz than Gordon MacRae.
