Unfortunately the client doesn't read any Arabic, so it's up to me to decide.
What would the whole sentence mean if it were البيض?
Fuad Yahya Jan 14, 2009:
Can you check with your client? I think it should be البـيض
Randa El Nomeir (asker) Jan 14, 2009:
No typos. And that's what puzzles me.
I would say it's a variation in Khaliji dialect of more commonly known word, but I can't figure out what word that is.
Fuad Yahya Jan 14, 2009:
Are you sure there are no typos? I would have thought the word was البـيض. I had to zoom in to see clearly.

Arabic term (edited): البـيض، بكسر الباء

بيض البشرة

البشرة البـيضاء، مثل البشرة السمراء، تحظى بكثير من التغزل في الشعر الغنائي

إذا كانت الكلمة هي البيض، فإنّ لسان الحال يقول أنا منحوسة مع بيض البشرة، أي أحبهم ولا يحبونني
Note from asker:
Humm... I haven't thought of it that way. Well in this case I'll translate it as البيض and I'll make sure to leave a note to the client, if he can verify his source. Thanks Fuad, you're really a lot of help.
