Great example! I had the misconception that Arabic had no vowels. I fed your Arabic transliteration into Google Translate[1], clicked on the "speak it" icon for the Arabic, and I could hear a comprehensible English sentence:

https://translate.google.com/m/translate?hl=en#ar/en/أَرَبِك...

If Arabic had no vowel sounds then this should have been impossible!

[1] Ignore the English translation which is meaningless and irrelevant. In this case I'm using Google Translate for speech synthesis, not for translation.
