Does anyone know of languages that have such phonological
configurations as LZ- or LS- ?  That is to say, a liquid plus a
fricative in that order.

It seems to me that those are virtually impossible phonological
articulations and that they would naturally metathesize to ZL-, SL-,
etc., or that if they did occur they would be highly marked.

Am I right?

Subject:  Grepping

Hello,
     I am working on the morphology of the Bengali Verb and was
wondering if anybody has written a util for grepping a whole
set of words contained in a file from a data-base.
    Standard grep allows only one string at a time, unless it
is done under UNIX with a 'CAT WORD' command and a small util
written under UNIX. Since my main environment is DOS, I was
wondering if anybody has used or knows of such a util.
  The syntax would be :
  grep -r <FN1> <FN2> FN3
where FN1 is the file with the set of strings to be grepped
      FN2 is the data-base
      FN3 is the output.
  Thanks a lot in advance for the help. I promise to post a
summary if there is such a tool, so that others can also use
it.

Dear Linguists,

I'm currently directing the MA dissertation of a student looking at the
influence of L1 Berber on L2 Moroccan Arabic and French. She's found a
reference to a doctoral dissertation done at the Institute of Oriental
Studies in Moscow, but we've had no luck in obtaining a copy. We'd be
grateful for any tips on getting hold of this dissertation (or indeed for
further references on the topic!). The specific reference is:

Sallou, M. 1993. The influence of Tamazight on Moroccan Arabic.
	Unpublished doctoral dissertation, Russian Academy for Science,
	Institute of Oriental Studies, Moscow.

Many thanks,
S.J. Hannahs
