My perception is that, contrary to what Unicode suggests, Arabic users expect bare [alef] lam lam heh to ligate and that is what almost all Arabic fonts do. Arabic non-God name words that would match the same sequence of letters are very uncommon to the extent that I never encountered any of them until I was researching this very issue. In Amiri I approached this from the other end; actively matching sequences that are unlikely to be the name of God and unligating them, e.g. خالله does not ligate, but فالله ligates while فالَله does not. -- GitHub Notification of comment by khaledhosny Please view or discuss this issue at https://github.com/w3c/alreq/issues/125#issuecomment-399211696 using your GitHub account
