Arabic term or phrase: Tlah. Tlah. Agi.
Nelson runs from the police and hides behind the entrance door of a building… “Then a man (a local Moroccan) appeared at the top of the stairs, noticing him, he beckoned to him. ‘Tlah. Tlah. Agi,’ he said. Because his face was unmistakably friendly, Nelson slowly started to mount the steps.”

(considering I’m translating the text to Turkish, can you pls put the Arabic originals too, so I can use them for the Turkish transcription?)
