I am not an Arabic language expert, but I think that the shadda is irrelevant. And that because almost all arabic medias ( TV, newspapers, ... ) don't add shaddas. For example in Al-Jazeera's bottom bar, there is no shadda and no harakat, even when there is a confusion, in the sentence مقتل يابانيين We can't know is they are 2 or more. _______________________________________________ Doc mailing list [email protected] http://lists.arabeyes.org/mailman/listinfo/doc
