            @mushi i know of three; maya being just the substance, bahr being a body of water, and gufra, of course.

      @mushi Wiktionary says moya is only water in a few dialects. Hejazi Arabic: مويه

                     @caret7 yeah, the ending was weird. Actually it isnt relevant that they were marijuana pickers, but i thpught it was weird. they said it was used to make clothes
