How many entries are in that word list ?
What is its source ? Any copyright issues ?

Anyway, thats GREAT that you could have this word list in such a short
time. After getting that list, next step would be to try to optimize it
and turn it into a true AFFIX dictionary.

I do have to let you know that many people have argued that AFFIX
capabilities are not sufficient for the Arabic language, but with a few
work arounds, we (Hopefully) could make it work.
