What does almu7ami mean in Arabizi?
almu7ami is how you write اَلْمُحامي in Arabizi, the Arabic chat alphabet. It means “attorney, the lawyer”.
The 7 stands for ح (ḥa): a breathy h, deeper than English h. 7 bends the way ح bends.
For the rest of the chat alphabet, see the Arabizi → Arabic guide. Got it the other way round, with Arabic script to convert? That is the Arabic to Arabizi converter.
