I did have an Iraqi friend while in the Graduate Librarianship program at the U of Denver in 1983-1984. He was from the U of Mosul in Iraq. He worked at their library for decades.
I do recall he tried to teach me some Arabic phrases but I never quite got them right.

A few years ago I was walking through an airport and saw the Qatar Airlines counter. Several stewardesses and pilots were standing there chatting. I walked up to them and asked how to pronounce the name. They said Cutter. I’m not sure they were correct—I didn’t know for sure that they were Qatari—but that’s how they said it.
