Subject: Index MS-Word Arabic query

Hi.  Can anyone tell me how to create an index using MS-Word Arabic
that does not LUMP together all the words starting with alif-laam,
and does not SPLIT words with suffixes?

I have had no success as yet in obtaining help from MSWord support,
or any other source.
thanks.

Subject: Onset Consonant Clusters in Gulf Arabic query

Hello,

Is anyone able to tell me if 'kl' and '9d' are possible onset consonant
clusters (word-medially) in Gulf Arabic?  I am unsure how these two words
would be syllabified.  

'yaakluun'      Would it be 'yaak.luun' or 'yaa.kluun'?

as in 'tammaw yaakluun athnaa l-muHaaDra'


'gaa9diin'    Would it be 'gaa9.diin' or 'gaa.9diin'?

as in: 'yoom yiit, kinna gaa9diin nitbax il-ghada'.

I would also appreciate it if anyone can tell me whether the 'superheavy'
syllables CVVC, CVCC are considered to have 3 moras?

I appreciate any assistance,
Lisa

dear list members
in your analysis of the Arabic language would you consider the long vowels
to be morphemes or allophones and why?
