Molly says yes, khairallah says Na'am

…and the Arabs and the devil knows who else…said yes I will Yes.

-James Joyce

Na’am. Yes!, Yes indeed!, Certainly!, Surely!, Grazing animals [camels, etc.]. Na’am?(colloq.) I beg your pardon, What did you say?

-Hans Wehr, Dictionary of Modern Written Arabic

I wonder how best to translate Molly Bloom’s last word into Arabic…as an affirmative, as an interrogative, or as KhairAllah might prefer. What did you say? I said camels I will Camels.
