El cangrejo de las pinzas de oro
Whereas Hergé's use of Chinese in "The Blue Lotus" was correct, the Arabic script employed in "The Crab with the Golden Claws" was intentionally fictitious. Many of the place names featured in the series are puns: the town of Kefheir was a pun on the French ("what to do?") while the port of Bagghar derives from the French (scrape, or fight). The name of Omar ben Salaad is a pun meaning "Lobster Salad" in French.
