What does assarir mean in Arabizi?

assarir is how you write اَلْسَّرير in Arabizi, the Arabic chat alphabet. It means “bed, the bed”. No numbers in this one; it spells out in plain Latin letters.

New to the chat alphabet? See how every letter and number maps: the Arabizi → Arabic guide. Got it the other way round, with Arabic script to convert? That is the Arabic to Arabizi converter.
