حبيبتى Honey?

حبيبتى

What is this?

This translates as 'honey' but isn't the kind of honey that bees make. Judging from the Google pics, it looks more the birds & bees.... Lots of dating sites and lovey dovey pictures.

It has Google Trends: http://www.google.com/trends?q=%D8%A...A8%D8%AA%D9%89

It seems to be part of the name of an Egyptian play: http://ar.wikipedia.org/wiki/%D9%87%...A8%D8%AA%D9%89

It also has US Overture numbers (see translations):

103 حبيبتى
46 حبيبتى لما هتكبر
38 حبيبتى دردشة
31 تكبر حبيبتى لما
27 حبيبتى حتكبر لما

103 Honey
46 Honey what Htkpr
38 Honey chat
31 grow as Honey
27 Honey Ankpr what

103 [HbybtY]
46 [HbybtY] for what [htkbr]
38 [HbybtY] [drdsht]
31 arrogance [HbybtY] for what
27 [HbybtY] [Htkbr] for what

I was joking that he was going for all the meanings...the "food" and "romance" versions.
Geez...its like a mad reg' run on Arabics these days around here. Hangman, Burns, Markits etc. etc.
What's up, I was thinking that Arabics might be on shaky ground based on you and MJ's gut feel about how things might play out.

َِّAfter Gs post w/ the article on his site, it showed me that for Arabic (I assume Hebrew as well), IDN.IDN is needed more than ever.

Oh, I don't think they are on shaky ground - I said that they really need IDN.IDN alias for dot com and dot net, and it will IMO be a very long time coming. RD is confident it will come by end of 2008...

I still feel that ICANN will stonewall aliasing IDN.com and IDN.net with the intent to roll out new extensions first. Of course if it plays out that way, things will get nasty between Verisign and ICANN.

I assume you mean the Verisign idn.idn(com)
Now that is what I like to refer to as REAL idns

I wonder if there is anyone at Verisign that can give us an update from their end.
They must have a whole bunch of people working in this department...

Re: حبيبتى Honey?

I just kept running up against that term. It seemed to be used like 'sweetie, honey, darlin', or whatever' and I just had to register it. I had to get something in Arabic that wasn't a geo domain before November ran out....

I kinda like that one, too. Hope it works out.
