Dear all,
There is some literature on on the grammaticalization of the negative
particle laa as a conjunction la- ‘lest’, and of aHsan with the same
function in Arabic dialects.
See for example M.M. Bravmann, Studies in Arabic and General Syntax.
IFAO XI. Le Caire 1953. §95 p.118f and §110 p.136f.
And for those who read German:
For Damascus Arabic see Ariel Bloch, Die Hypotaxe im
Damaszenisch-Arabischen ... . AKM XXXV,4. Wiesbaden 1965. §52 p.42f.
(with older literature on the subject)
You will find a comprehensive account for Egyptian in Manfred Woidich,
Negation und negative Sätze im Ägyptisch-Arabischen. Ph.D. thesis
University of Munich 1968. §137–141 p.204–213.
