SKI: Essim demonstrates dominance over Mossam, but is confused and 
infuriated when Mahoun does not appreciate the gesture, and mocks her accent.

[207] That misplaced b is on purpose. It's a hypercorrection from 
someone trying not to slip into a 'wrong' accent. Think about it: if 
you've pronounced m and b both as m your whole life and then you move 
somewhere you get mocked for not pronouncing  b properly, you're 
going to come out with a few inappropriate b sounds when you're 
trying to get it right. And then a moment later she's drunk and angry 
both at once so just lets it slide altogether.
