Egyptian word for "crocodile"?

As far as I know there are a few dialects of the Arabic language, so, how are Egyptian crocodiles called in Egypt? And please transliterate it, I won't understand otherwise.

Update:

@Bebz: yeah, google said something like that too, but it makes awful mistakes sometimes AND I have no idea how the language varies between countries, so I thought I should ask. Thank you :)
