Re: [alreq] Section on Counter Styles

Here are two list counter styles, from Arabic books published circa 1982/1983 in Kerala, India.

## Observations

1. It looks like the numbers are indices of book sections.

2. Digits 4, 6 and 7 are in Arabic-Indic numerals style, but digit 5 is in Eastern Arabic-Indic numerals style.

## Numbers on Arabic Number Sign

In this book, the index appears on top of Arabic Number Sign, and then the list item ends with an empty circle.

## Circled Numbers

Here, the index appears in a circle, and at goes after (left end) of the list item.
