No kidding, you really typed all those Hamzeh's all by yourself?? > Please note that the specification doesn't discuss pronunciations at > all. That only happens in one case (toman), where it better serves as a > footnote. FYI from the Oxford English Dictionary: pronounce, verb. I.2. To declare aloud, proclaim, announce, make known;... II. 5. To give utterance to; to utter, speak, articulate (a word or words); b. With reference to the mode of pronunciation of a letter, syllable, word, or language.... I'm only using "pronounce" as synonym of "say" (I.2) and you're thinking "talaffoz." (II.5) > If that doesn't answer your question, please ask it in a different way > ;) Well, you were very helpful with the "ghash-gir" topic so what is your problem here? Here, I will ask this: Do you agree that sometimes you say, "behdaad-e esfahbod" and other times you say, "behdaad esfahbod?" (Note, I said *say*, not *write* for now.) And my next question is going to be, "when?" That should keep you busy for a while! -Connie _______________________________________________ PersianComputing mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.sharif.edu/mailman/listinfo/persiancomputing
