Words in the speech bubble:

if you cannot live with little, you cannot live with a lot...
satiety is in the heart... (slurp)
turn your eye away from that which your paw cannot reach...

Both Moroccan Tmz & Darija have 'šəʕkūk' for 'bushy untidy hair' and '(a)xənšuš' for 'snout, ugly mug'. Ḥaḍ. has close relatives:

> kaʕšūš : untidy hair

> naxšūš: nose (in C. Ar 'gill, branchia')
