Oops! There have been high winds in the Pyrenees lately; power goes off, street lights go out, internet sattelites get blown out of orbit, and the water goes out too. Nisus mail gets put into Spam, and I had 116 entries to sort, and I answered the wrong one first. But thanks to Knut I think I have hamza and ayn sorted out, as long as I can tell from what I am reading which one I need. I am impressed by anyone who can even transliterate Arabic! Beautiful for calligraphy, no question there, but ambiguous to read even in type, and half guesswork in script?

Cheers,

Ferren
