: muhaneb daneb achbar
: I couldn't make out sepearate words, the voice spoke swiftly. However I know,
: that achbar means bigger, or is bigger, so I take it that the rest is not
: rubbish.
Well, I believe that "daneb" is the Arabic word for "tail". I don't know what the context of the conversation was, but here it may not necessarily mean "tail" as it's understood, for example, the Latin word for "tail" doesn't mean "tail" anymore as it is now commonly used in many Western languages. But he, "tail" is a start. There is also a star named Daneb, btw.
Also you're right in that "achbar" means "is bigger", though I'd argue that a more accurate translation would be "is greater", being less specific than "bigger" which would generally refer more to a larger size than overall concept. The best example of this being "Allahu Achbar", meaning "God is greater"...
"Muhaneb" I could not find anywhere, and similar searches for "Mujaneb" didn't come up with anything either, sorry.
Plus if I'm wrong about any of that it's not my fault, it is the internet and its various search engines. ;)
Let us know when you figure it out, because this is going to bug me...
