Categories of words in Arabic.. .Arabic divides all words into three categories. A verb (fi‘l) refers to an event, or motion, in time. A noun (ism) refers to a thing and makes no reference to time. A preposition (ḥarf) has no independent and substantive meaning but functions as a link between nouns and verbs. Gate of the heart, p. 205. Elative word forms.. .In some languages such as Arabic, the concepts of comparative and superlative degree of an adjective are merged into a single form, the elative. How this form is understood or translated depends upon context and definiteness. In the absence of comparison, the elative conveys the notion of “greatest”, “supreme”. The elative of kabár (big) is ‘akbar (bigger/biggest, greater/greatest). Font information.. .The Cambria font has been chosen because it is an OpenType font (a successor of TrueType fonts) with a larger character set that contains underdots, and Proportional/Tabular and Lining/Old style numerals. Proportional/Old style numbers are for text paragraphs since they blend better into text with a mix of upper- and lowercase, proportional letters. Tabular/Lining numerals are used in tables. • Proportional width numbers blend better into text with proportionally spaced letters • Tabular numbers (equal width) are used in all caps text or in tables where they can be vertically aligned • Lining numbers are equivalent to capital letters. All caps text is harder to recognize than lowercase letters due to their lack of ascenders (the portion of lowercase letters above the x-height) and tails (the portion of lowercase letters below the baseline) • OldStyle numbers are equivalent to lowercase letters and blend better into text
