What the ecky peck is 'maat' in English?

[tiggerblue10]

Maat is an Egyptian goddess Ethel.

I think thats what PinkFlower is refering to anyway.

[Ethel]

Should be in hieroglyphics, then. :)

I thought it was a cockney 'mate'.

Don't get a tattoo. They are cheap and tacky. I don't know how old you are but imagine how silly you'll look when you are eighty-three years old and sat in the day-centre with tattoos on you.

[Ethel]

I agree with Lucy. It will also be a good indicator of your age in years to come.

'Oh yeah - those tatts were all the rage in 2008 - she's got to be in her 50s'

I haven't heard "ecky peck" in ages Ethel. that made me laugh. I think I'm going to use it in conversation now ;-)

Peggy Mount is my hero, tigger. :)

[tiggerblue10]

I remember her in Oliver.

[PinkFlower]

thanks tigger, but i have already been on that site. and seeing as its online, its not exactly...100% right!!!

Ignore 'em PF!

If you want a tatt,you get one :-)

Basically when we all reach the age when we're shoved into a God's Waiting Room (Old fogies home) i'm willing to bet at least two thirds of us will have tattoos, not to mention numerous piercings, anyway- you won't look out of place at all.

Sadly, Can't help with your initial question though.

[Ethel]

The problem is Arabic cannot be translated as A=one character, and B=another.

Each character can have up to four different forms, so many variations can be right.

Read any Arabic newspaper and you will see many English words, especially English names, as there is no Arabic equivalent.
