In English the word translates to what you might call a "boogey man". Basically a scary monster. Some of the children refer to Ali as babalu because of his apperance and because of the way he walks.... He hobbles around because of polio that inflicted him and "left him with a twisted, atrophied right leg that was sallow skin over bone with little in between except a paper-thin layer of muscle"(Khaled Hosseini pg 8)
