fwiw, there's an early version of an Arabic picker at http://r12a.github.io/pickers/arabic/. I mention it because it may help to take out some of the guesswork and bring some consistency when creating transcriptions of Arabic words in our text. if you paste in a word such as رُقعَة and click on `toLoc` it will produce an LOC transcription. The algorithm takes into account various rules about combinations, but there sometimes remain ambiguities. For example, رُقعَة produces two alternatives for teh marbuta on a yellow background – simply click on the one you want (h) to finalise the transcription. There are a couple of things that still need attention, and i'm still working on it, but it largely works. Hints: don't add vowels to the definite article (ال), but put them just about everwhere else; no need usually for sukun; still need to work on some īya sequences; read the notes for more info about how to use the picker. -- GitHub Notification of comment by r12a Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/alreq/issues/16#issuecomment-162468324 using your GitHub account
