There does seem to have been something special about the 'aa' vowel in
these words in Classical Arabic. The following are worth looking at:

1. Kitaab Sibawayh, Vol. 4, p. 85 'Baab cadad al-huruuf' (Maktabat
al-Khaanji edition, 1988)

2. Chaim Rabin, Ancient West Arabian, pp. 105-106 (London, Taylors Press,
1951)

Sorry, I'll try again:

The Sibawayh page should have been p. 432.

Another reference I should have mentioned is:

A.A. al-Nassir, Sibawayh the Phonologist, p. 103 (pub. Kegan Paul
International)
