Hello Roderick, In my program zonwvlak I calculate 3 Islamic prayer lines. Zuhr Asr awal Asr tani ( as written in our letters ) They are based on nsl + 0.25 g nsl + g nsl + 2g nsl = noon shadow length g = gnomon, a pin perpendicular to the dial's plane. These definitions seem to be the most common, but there are other definitions as well. There is a Turkish book by Nusret Cam Osmanli Günes Saatleri ISBN 975-17-0735-8 year 1990 Here you find nice pictures of Turkish dials and also the definitions as above. Fer de Vries.
