Paul (10)	Audio Recordings Please verify recordings that are pronounced correctly, are clearly audible, conform to the text displayed and are on native speaker level. Please do not regard your own intonation as the only one possible. Noises inaudible or almost inaudible with medium-quality speakers (headphones) are not a reason for deletion. Different accents are welcome, as each word can be recorded by several users. Ideally, each word will be recorded by several native speakers from different regions (and of different age, gender, ...) someday. The terms should be pronounced in standard language, not in dialect, except for dialect (regional) terms tagged as such. Audio contributors are asked to provide native/resident country and region (accent) information in their profile. If several factors influenced the accent, please give details using the region (accent) field. Abbreviations in angle brackets can be recorded if useful (used in verbal communication), but they are not required.

Paul (10)	Arabic: Adjectives The citation form for Arabic adjectives is masculine gender, singular number.
Paul (10)	Arabic: Nouns The citation form for Arabic nouns Duals and plurals, especially when irregular, should be entered separately and marked with the appropriate tag, for example: ????? {???}. The same applies to singulative nouns, for example ???? {????} for ???. The gender of Arabic nouns should not be entered separately. The feminine gender should be specified only when it is not clearly visible from the noun's ending: ?? {????}
Paul (10)	Arabic: Verbs The citation form for Arabic verbs, as in most dictionaries, is the masculine singular perfect of the third person. For each of the verbs, the verb form 1-10 should be specified (see http://arabic.desert-sky.net/g_vforms.html for more information on the individual verb forms). The corresponding tag with the Roman numeral should be used for this purpose. For example: ??? [I] - to write, ???? [III] - to correspond (with sb.), ????? [VI] - to write to each other.
Paul (10)	Arabic: Vocalization On dict.cc, Arabic entries are entered without vocalization, i.e. as written in everyday usage. The vocalized form of the entry (e.g. ??????? for ????) can be entered using the "inflections" function. dict.cc can be searched with or without the diacritics (you can enter both ??????? and ???? in the search field).

Do not enter vocabulary in transliterated Latin script or Arabic chat alphabet (e.g. ??? rather than 3asr)
