That is, if you are looking for them in their stem form. That is the same dictionary (wordlist) that Duali currently uses. I think the gendic script (not sure how useable it is right now) generated a pure Arabic wordlist out of the 'Wordlist Project' wordlist (that's too many 'wordlist' words in there, sorry for the confusion). However, even the Buckwalter dictionary is filled with a lot of extra information that may not make it easy for you to navigate through. It is also transliterated (in Latin characters, rather than Arabic). You can use the 'trans2arabic' script supplied with 'duali' to generate UTF-8 encoded versions of the Buckwalter transliterated wordlist. Let me know if any of this makes sense (or doesn't) ;) Regards -- ------------------------------------------------------- | Mohammed Elzubeir | Visit us at: | | | http://www.arabeyes.org/ | | Arabeyes Project | Homepage: | | Unix the 'right' way | http://fakkir.net/~elzubeir/| -------------------------------------------------------
