I have always been fascinated by word manipulation, so I started this project as a personal challenge.
I manipulate Arabic words and transform them into their meaning, and I made a total of 40 illustrated words. Also, there are pronunciation of those words above every picture that will hopefully help you to learn something new!

Cat - Qitt
Very informative. I love languages. Thanks for explaining the differences :) This would actually make a nice tattoo :)
Fox - Thaealab
Whale - Hout
The ح letter is a bit tricky as it doesn't have an equivalent in english, but best try would be: Hout.

Dog - Kalb
Coffee - Qahuwa
Giraffe - Zarafa
Duck - Batt
Watermelon - Batikh
Citadel - Qale'a
Mouse - Fa'ar

Too many horns for a gazelle. This is more a reindeer. Are reindeer classified as gazelles too?

Here's the thing, I like the idea, quite interesting. I can read Arabic. So I tried to read them without looking at the standard written form. Some of them were perfectly legible, but the rest were unreadable because of the extreme manipulation. Otherwise it's quite useful for learning.
