Subject: Electronic Arabic name corpus query

A company called and asked about the availability of an electronic
database/corpus of Arabic names.  They are interested both in any
available free corpora of names, and also in any commercially
available lists (i.e. they are willing to pay).  I thought the answer
to this query might interest some on the list, so I'll ask you simply
to respond to the list.
Thanks,
Dil

[please respond directly to the requester]

It was suggested that I contact you regarding
obtaining Mac-based software for learning to read Arabic.   I would be
grateful for any info you may have in this regard, whether it is your
software or someone else's that you suggest.
Thank you very much for your feedback.
Sincerely,

David Wohl

Subject: 'ayy grammar query

Regarding the Arabic interjection AYY, meaning "that is to say" or
"i.e.":  I seem to remember that any noun which directly follows AYY
must take the accusative (mansoub) ending.  Am I imagining this or is
this true?  Thanks and cheers from Abu Sammy.
