Subject: Mossoul Dialect Query

Dear Colleagues,
has anyone on the list ever come accross a monography on the modern
dialect of Mossoul (al-mawsil), and could anyone confirm that this
dialect features what traditional grammarians (al-Farraa',
al-SuyuuTi) call "wakm", i.e. pronouncing "`alaykim" for "`alaykum"
(or I guess in modern dialect `aleekem") and "bikim".

Thanks,
Frederic Lagrange.
