@wael beabol stop telling me about preprocessing I know I never made arguments about orthography following computability. 5:26 AM Dec 22nd from Chromed Bird in reply to wael
@moftasa true but arabic is full of affixes so the problem exists regardless of state of waw 3:29 AM Dec 22nd from Chromed Bird in reply to moftasa
@wael don't get it, how is it applying to the sentence here? 3:26 AM Dec 22nd from Chromed Bird in reply to wael
@wael example of fa2 between sentences is the only thing that will convince me, hamza rules where in flux till 150 years ago 3:23 AM Dec 22nd from Chromed Bird in reply to wael
@wael example of fa2 between sentences? orthography based on typography (ornamental calligraphy in case of arabic since ottoman time) is bad 3:16 AM Dec 22nd from Chromed Bird in reply to wael
@moftasa not sure it's worse than any other affix, one less is always nice but not good enough argument if u really think it's a prefix 3:14 AM Dec 22nd from Chromed Bird in reply to moftasa
@wael depends on how u model grammar too, if waw can be between sentences then it has to be separate 3:09 AM Dec 22nd from Chromed Bird in reply to wael
@wael hmmm maybe, but what makes it not like أو 3:06 AM Dec 22nd from Chromed Bird in reply to wael
@wael tarnation is amazing 2:53 AM Dec 22nd from Chromed Bird in reply to wael
@wael this is a hyphenation and rendering problem, you should always enter the space after the waw but software should display it correctly 2:14 AM Dec 22nd from Chromed Bird in reply to wael
