That would be great! The number of ligatures is limited, however. Arabtex in fact has more than strictly necessary.


However, I never got omega running, in spite of my attempts.

By the way, be aware that Hebrew may not have ligatures, but it does have some characters whose shape changes when they appear at the word ending, so, e.g., -n is not the same character code as n- or -n-.
You should also take in account that people will want to use dotted consonants, i.e. the dots that distinguish b from v, and s from sh, etc.
