OK, a sane person enters. Since you have at least *heard* it, please see if you can find a pattern as to WHEN it is said. Really, the speech-to-text people may thank you. For example, how is it that the same person, in the same speech will say, "Ahmad Shamlu mord." Then a few seconds later say, "Ahmad-e Shamlu, nevisandeh-ye borzorg..." What are the conditions involved? I suspect it follows strict natural laws of linguistics, and of course influenced by mood and style. I just want to know what they are! -Connie _______________________________________________ PersianComputing mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.sharif.edu/mailman/listinfo/persiancomputing
