الأسم لطوبة و الفعل لأمشير
El esm le touba wel feil le amshir
Translation: His name is Touba and his behavior is Amshir.
Meaning: Appearances can be deceptive, and don't judge a book by its cover. Touba, the fifth month of the Coptic calendar, (Jan 9 – Feb 7) , and is known to be cold. Amshir, the sixth month of the Coptic calendar, (Feb 8 – March 10), and is known for its stormy weather. So, be ready for hurricane season all the time. People, like the weather, are not to be trusted.
