Local inhabitant. Local in this case being that one mountain on the Sinai Peninsula.

The Hebrew consonants aleph and ayin are silent, when European Jews speak Hebrew. Aleph is essentially a glottal stop, and ayin is back there somewhere. Yemenite Jews can pronounce them. The famous folk singer Shoshana Damari, who was given an Israeli state funeral when she died recently, and who was a Yemenite Jew, pronounced them clearly. I have a treasured phonograph record of her singing. I read somewhere that Arabs can pronounce a double ayin, and a camel can pronounce a triple ayin!
