"Baij" or "ramlii" (sandy)

Greetings.

Per "Al-Mughni Al-Akbar" bilingual dictionary, you might use:

1. "Baij" بيج

(this attributive is a for a male; for a female "baija"f
or

2. "Ramlii" (actually "ramlii al-lown")
(which means "of sandy color" or sand-colored)

رملي - رملي اللون

(The "ramlii" attributive is for a male; "ramliiya" applies for a female.)

If your PC supports Arabic text, the Arabic terms appear to the right of the English above.

HTH.

Beige, asHar, or bijou

My dear Myra (that's the name of my son's fiance, although she spells her name with an 'eye'),

You can either Arabicize it like most everybody else does, beige (al-Mughni al-Farid of 2000 gave up on the 'ramli' word), give it a classical name (asHar, or suHra), or simply hit 2 birds with same stone and call your rabbit BIJOU --a cute French word that I'm sure you're quite aware of.

Say hello to your (B)abbit.
