Help!
I'm doing a spot for a client in Jordan. The script is in English, but I am stumped by the following:
Bayt
Mazaj
Sabeq & Maharat
I don't even know if they are business names (sponsors of an event in the spot) or what....any ideas would be helpful. THANK YOU!!!! _________________ Moe Egan

I wish I was at home where I have the books I used for a recent project I had to read.
From what I can find,
Bayt is a portion of Bayt Lahm, another name for Bethlemem.
Bayt Lahm ˈbīt-ˈläm
Mazaj translates to "Moods" in English. Seems tied to a lot of radio stations. Maybe kind of like "Lite 105". "Mood 107". No help on pronunciation though.
Sabeq appears to be an acronym.
Sustainable Achievement of Business Expansion and Quality (SABEQ) USAID/ Jordan- Water Resource Management: Projects
Maharat appears to be a proper name. mah-HAH-raht. _________________ Try to imagine a world where there is no such thing as hypothetical situations.
