Nicely explained. To help students hear the difference, I generally tell them to listen for a tek vs. a dum on 1 throughout the majority of the piece, and for whether there are two dums in the middle of the bar (on "&3") throughout the majority of the piece. As you mentioned, a bar of sa'idi can crop up within a debke piece...so it's important for students to listen for the dominant rhythm throughout the piece.
