Forgot to mention/beseech:  *please* no more "sequential fathatan".  I 
don't know what that means.  Humor me.  ;)  And remember, I speak and 
read Arabic, so I can make a reasonable guess as to what you mean.  But 
such terminology will only confuse the naive, which I usually favor, but 
in this case I'm willing to make an exception.  :)

Y'all may have other opinions, but for me the following work:

	distinct tanween (i.e. Unicode -atans)
	assimilated tanween (I think this is what sequential -atan means, but 
am not sure)
	nuun conversion mark (small meem)
