It takes someone sometime to guess that sp? stands for spell-checking errors ;) So you are accused now of wasting my time thinking and wasting my time replying and still wasting more time to make the reply contains something useful ;) > though.

I strongly disagree with kinyah in favor of laqab. ln Arabic, lagab means any alias name which is exactly corresponds to nickname, but `kunyah' is a special type of names that begin with `Abu' or `Umm' like Abu Abdulrahman or Umm Abdulrahman. So, nickname _should_ be translated to lagab. > Which brings me to my point.

Just make sure when you file the bug to ask for a new option to ignore harakats and don't link it to the existing option of ignoring accelerators - they should be distinct. > At any rate, I'll get to work on EDS right away, and > also go over gossip one final time and see if there is > any minor cosmetic work that needs to be done.
