The character's name is Sobahh Annoor. A better transliteration of the
Arabic phrase would be _SabaaH alnuur_, pronounced approximately [s.Aba:H
annu:r], with [s.] = emphatic [s] and [H] = pharyngeal voiceless
fricative.
It's actually the *response* version of "good morning", meaning "morning
of the light"; the inceptual form of "good morning" is _SabaaH alxayr_,
"morning of the good".
