Even more meta

This time, I dreamt about stroking foodpoisoningsf. Of course, he was a cat at the time--and a silky longhair pussy at that!

Later in the dream, I met up with him and a couple of his friends and told them about the crazy dream I had. There weren't as amused as I hoped they'd be. I thought foodpoisoningsf looked good, though, even if I didn't care for the kanji tattoos running down his rippling arms.

Still later I dreamt that I was outside what used to be my usual morning café (called "The Morning Rut" or--more strangely--"The Morning Gut") thinking about journaling. I decided I needed to get to a computer so I could type up and entry about that weird meta-dream I had.

I need help.

"Do what you can"

Well, it was bound to happen sooner or later: I finally had to create a record written in a language for which there is no established ALA-LC Romanisation standard. I asked one of my co-workers what to do and he told me, "I had this problem a few years ago, so I wrote to LC and asked and they said, 'Do what you can.'" So I did what I could--but before I go further, I wonder, does anyone else want to have a crack? Here's the title as it appears on the cover:

I know that's not much to go on, but the spelling of the place of publication is so exotic, I don't even have the proper Arabic character set to handle it. So ignore the second hamza in this attempt:
