Hello Kais, I wish I had the time to assist in this worthy enterprise. (Maybe next year, inshalla...) For now, please note the following mistakes in the documentation on verb forms:
* the example given for Quadriliteral II (AiToma>an~a) is mislabeled as Quad II -- it's Quad IV. * in the Dictionary itself, AiToma>an~a is mislabeled as Triliteral Form XII -- http://corpus.quran.com/qurandictionary.jsp?root=TmAn#%284:103:11%29 There are some very attractively produced tables of all the verb forms and participles in Karin Ryding's grammar: http://www.amazon.co.uk/Reference-Grammar-Modern-Standard-Grammars/dp/0521777712/ Best, Tim On Thu, Apr 14, 2011 at 8:28 AM, Kais Dukes <k...@kaisdukes.com> wrote: > Dear members of the comp-quran mailing list, > > > In version 0.3 of the Quranic Arabic Corpus, we had a new user-contributed > section on Arabic verb forms (see: > http://corpus.quran.com/documentation/verbforms.jsp).
