Merci, Dom!
I started using some reference sites to transliterate arabic. Slow going but quite enlightening.
For those interested:
http://www.eiktub.com/
and
http://www.omniglot.com/, a source for most languages and alphabets.
Could the 1?00 be used instead of words? What I mean is, can the pronunciation of numerals be used to spell out names or words?
Best regards,
Emanuel
