Answer A: Why is the ـً in "شُكْرًا" and others pronounced?
I asked a native speaker and the following are his responses representing his theory, edited slightly (posting here with permission). N.B. He emphasises many times that this is speculation. Also, Arabizi is used for the Latin transliteration, so "3" represents ع. > I can't really give you an educa...

Comment Post #279437 How would you classify your normal English accent? Maybe Danish pronunciation is harder just because of the harder phonology? (I don't remember glottal stops in Danglish, nor guttural R's, nor "soft d's")

Question Why is the ـً in "شُكْرًا" and others pronounced?
Why is the -an in "شُكْرًا" (shukran) pronounced? I've heard it pronounced this way in Modern Standard Arabic and in colloquial. In both, I'd usually expect the -an to not be pronounced, especially not before a pause as "شكرًا" is often used where instead I'd expect it to be pronounced shukra. I t...

Comment Post #277129 Very related, I recently found this https://linguistics.stackexchange.com/a/4644 regarding the existence of biliteral Semitic (or even Afrasian) roots

Comment Post #277129 @JirkaHanika My intent was to ask whether these relations between different roots are just coincidences, or whether there are many more such patterns within Classical Arabic.

Answer A: Why "sommaren är kommen" rather than "sommaren har kommit" in Swedish?
"kommen" is the past participle (perfekt particip) of komma. From this site, > Perfekt particip is used as adjective and declines almost the same way as adjectiv. [sic] An example given in the site of the past participle is "maten är köpt", with a translation being, "the food is bought", and "d...

Article Dictionaries of modern spoken Arabic dialects
- "Dictionnaire arabe-français, contenant toutes les racines de la langue arabe, leurs dérivés, tant dans l'idiome vulgaire que dans l'idiome littéral, ainsi que les dialectes d'Alger et de Maroc" (1860) by Kazimirski is an Arabic-French dictionary, that covers the dialects of Algeria and Morocco in ...

Comment Post #277364 Welcome to Codidact! It looks like you left some parts of the Arabic quotes un-translated (like the fatḥa on the lām). Also, would حرف جر mean preposition?

Answer A: How were ת & ט pronounced historically?
Geoffrey Khan's (open access!) book, "The Tiberian Pronunciation Tradition of Biblical Hebrew"[^1], discusses the pronunciation of Hebrew according to the Masoretes of Tiberias, who were active about a millennium ago; section I.0.4 gives some history. The author notes in the preface, however, that th...

Comment Post #277281 @Sigma [Monica Cellio's answer there](https://languages.codidact.com/questions/277073#answer-277260) suggests "Create one article per language for useful resources for that language," which I agree with.

Comment Post #277260 Referring to your last paragraph, another alternative could be simply editing in a new section with the type of request, with its emptiness signalling the need for resources. Or, as I commented to the other answer, it could be managed with comments to the posts where outdated comments would be cleane...

Comment Post #277086 @MonicaCellio Such a "cultivation" matches closely to what I'm thinking too. Each language can have its own post/article containing the resources. Requests for new resource types can be in the form of comments to said post.

Question What explains Arabic "Greater Etymology"?
This article discusses "Greater Etymology" (الاشتقاق الكبير) in Arabic, which "recognizes the common meanings words with different base letters share," as opposed to "Lesser Etymology" (or morphology, as it is also referred to), which "works at the level of a set of base letters and [...] recognizes ...

Question Why is linguistics limited in how much it can look back in time?
I've often seen that "we can only look back in time a short distance in linguistics". What prevents linguistics from deducing information far in the past? Is this limit something that can be pushed back with development of the science of linguistics?

Comment Post #277086 I too agree with the idea of having a separate category for that. However, still having a Q&A format to questions in that category could be useful, as users would be able to vote on resources. What do you think?

Question Are resource requests on-topic?
Should questions asking for resources be on-topic? I imagine questions of the form, "Resources for learning language X" or "Grammar reference for language X" or "Free online English-Language X dictionaries" and the like. If they are to be on-topic, how should they be organised? One extreme would b...
