Mr Wells,

For a young man who seemed to be quite at home with the
reading of Arzcha'azk runes, your admission that you were
not able to read Arabic seems to me to be rather anomalous.
To that end, I have taken the liberty of compiling a few
elementary notes on the literary form of the Arabic language,
along with some information on the Levantine and Egyptian
spoken dialects. I think you may find it of some interest,
though you are certainly under no obligation to pursue the
matter further.

If you happen to have any questions on points of script
patterns or general phonetics, both of which have quite
interesting regional variations, I would be more than
happy to discuss them with you at a later date.

M. Lyon
