Subject: Consonant Classes Query

Salam All,
I'm looking for some references on Arabic language consonant classes. What I
know is that Arabic has three categories: Plain, Emphatic, and Geminate. Are
there references grouping these consonants and giving their properties? Can
anybody come up with minimal pairs?
Thanks

Dear Arabic-L members,

I would greatly appreciate your help in finding a Lebanese or Syrian
rabic  -  English or French dictionary.

Surprisingly all I could find until now were dictionaries in the opposite
direction and in transliteration.
