Subject:Arabic Phoneme probability response

Ahmed Gamal asked about the probability of Arabic phonemes.  I
recommend you check the following book:	"A Statistical Study of the
Roots of the Al-Sahah Dictionary" by Ali Musa Hilmi.  I believe it was
published by the University of Kuwait some 15 or 20 years ago.  It is
replete with charts showing the statistical probability of each Arabic
letter occurring with each other, in initial, medial, and final
positions of the root.

Cheers,
Abu Sammy
