In the Saudi Arabian version, Al Maktab, David Brent is Malik Al-Tumaifi.

Absolutely. And maktab is librarian. Arabic uses diacritics when used formally though (and for language learners) to give a sense of the vowels.

I should add, Ar. maktab = office, not school

Har akkurat sett seneste episode av Humoretaten og må hylle Mathea Josefsen som en av landets morsomste.

Nå: engelske the Office (Apple TV) etter å ha sett den amerikanske. Oppdaget forøvrig at det eksisterer en versjon fra bl.a. Saudi Arabia. Kan ta en stund hvis jeg skal oppdatere meg på alle. 😄

Me: Anyway shukran was all the Arabic I remembered.
Him: Well, it's an important one so good job.
Me: Oh! I remember kitab and maktab too.
Him: You're working toward an actual conversation now!
Me: I met a Polish guy in Iceland who was functioning with about this much English and he was kicking ass.

Only in MSA. At least in classical Arabic the maktab was where children began their education (after maybe learning the basics from their fathers), prior to further learning in a madrasa

And I've just remembered that actually maktab means library. Amin al maktabah is librarian (أمين المكتبة) I'm obviously out of practice.

The Rohingya children at the Maktab~

Culturally and religiously, the Maktab is the first learning and growing space for many of us at a very young age. All the great memories of our childhood began in that one special place.

Maktab.

Menurut beliau, langkah pencegahan juga mesti dinilai berdasarkan hasil sama ada kejadian buli berkurangan dan mangsa selamat dan berani melapor. #malaysiagazette
KPM digesa tiru cara MRSM tangani buli, Maszlee berbeza pendapat
Cadangan pelbagai pihak supaya Kementerian Pendidikan meniru pendekatan pengurusan Maktab Rendah Sains MARA (MRSM) menerusi `You touch, you go' dalam menangani isu buli, wajar dilihat secara lebih teliti.

Degrading Lakurawa's ability to carry out its support functions will weaken the IS network in West Africa.

The cells help link ISSP and ISWAP.

ISWAP hosts IS's West Africa office, Maktab al Furqan, which oversees ISSP and ISWAP. 6/7

A strengthened ISWAP will give the office more space and resources to support ISSP and global IS activity.

This includes IS efforts to use its trans-Saharan networks to support attack cells in North Africa and Europe and support the movement of foreign fighters. 7/8

Now we can stretch the definition of "root" to include the syllable structure of that root, but that comes pretty close to things like Arabic:
maktab has the plural makātib

but miftāḥ has the plural mafātīḥ because it retains the length quality of the singular.

Which I would call non-root-based.

ISIS, for the first time in 7 years, has deployed "Abu Ahmed al-Barai Faraghani" to the Tajikistan-Afghanistan border as the head of terrorist operations in Central Asia. He is one of the founders of the "Maktab al-Khilafah" in Iraq and Syria and is responsible for child abduction operations...

i'm not sure what the feminine (*-at-) adds to the sense of the "place" noun here, but cf. Arabic مكتب maktab "office (place where writing happens)" vs. مكتبة maktabat- "library" (place where books are)
