Salaams and Bismillah,

This is Morrocan?  So for the Arabic I know, bas means enough and khas is lettuce.

min al bayt -- from the house

illal bayt -- to the house

juwa albayt -- in the house (also)

Rowahit -- I went home.

Rowihna -- We went home.

(There's no bayt in there, but that is what it means.)

ithneen - two

talatha - three

...keep counting...

(sidenote - the 'th' is dropped from moroccan arabic speaking so these
would be pronounced 'itneen' and 'talata'...an interesting similarity to the
dropping of the 'th' sound from classical spanish speakers when speaking 's'
with a mexican dialect)
