In case it helps:
I ran into a similar problem the first time I compiled a file with TL 2016.
Just before I started moaning (well, almost), I thought of erasing all the
auxiliary files of the document.
I did so, compiled again and no problem since.
I must add that I had run updmap straight after
Dear drrd,
This doesn't fix the bug, but in the meantime, if you write your sample text
like this:
`an{wa}TaN, na.h{wa}, tam{wI}lu
adding braces around the waw, then you should get the expected sukuns.

Hi Adam,
Some time ago I fancied that something similar, some sort of complex Talmud
layout, might be achieved using Nicola Talbot's flowfram.sty. If I remember
well, she was optimistic about the possibility, but then I never went ahead
with it. Maybe you can explore that route.

You may want to check the package pst-barcode, though I wonder if it works

Dear Nathan,
The tricky decision is, as you point out: is it preferable to have mixed line
heights or to have one large baselineskip for the entire document? In my
experience with mixed Arabic and English there is no b/w solution (sadly for
the ideal nice and regular grid layout we desire), and

You can do
\char"10162
which just worked for me using Brill Roman.
You need to make sure the character is present in the font and in the right
code point.
If there is a font which you are sure includes the character, but not in its
Unicode position,
you can also find out what its Glyph

The package arabtex has a handy switch to reduce the number of Arabic ligatures

additionally stacking letters (\ligstrue).

Nathan,
There seems to be something wrong in the way you are loading the fonts (as
shown by the OT1 complaint). Make sure you are using XeTeX and fontspec (to
handle the fonts) if you want to use Opentype or TrueType fonts. Maybe your
editor is trying to compile with a different engine behind y

I wouldn't mind a quick hint as to the reason for the F icon. Do you know where

As far as I could see, this has not been treated specifically on the list, and

common edification?

I guess this qualifies as a dirty fix, but why don't you try using \protect

or move the \LTR command inside the \protect-ion
