Beware the difference between Arabic’s emphatic and non-emphatic Hs, its alphabet’s 6th (ح ) and 26th ( ه ) letters. One makes you a beast of burden or with child, the other makes you go nowhere or with nothing. On the Darb, my camel was a Hāmil in the first sense but I felt like a hāmil in the second. If I’d ever expelled my breath when instead I should have held it in, or vice versa, no doubt I’d have caused KhairAllah no end of mirth and nonsense, with his always emphatic Ha Ha.
