What does these words"بالهبو" and "الحمو" in colloquial Egyptian Arabic mean? what does these two words refer to in colloquial Egyptian Arabic "الهبو" و "الحمو"? I'm translating from Arabic into English for my graduation thesis this year and I can't find proper equivalents.... I do know though from the context that it speaks about "flushing" or "fever" but I need confirmation and an exact meaning. This is the sentence in question : كما أن هناك زيادة في مخاطر أزمات القلب، ويشكو نصف عدد النساء بمرحلة الإياس من عدم استقرار ضغط الدم والنبض، والبيغ الساخن، وهو المعروف فى اللغة الدارجة بالهبو أو الحمو This is mainly directed to Egyptians, since these words are present in their dialect. But if anybody has suggestions or any idea about these two words, feel free to share the knowledge. And thanks in advance.
