Dear Arno,
Sorry, but I'm not very familiar with Qur'anic writing conventions. I know
there is an elaborate apparatus of marks but it's pretty specialized, and
I've never had the time to look into it. I'll take a peek this weekend.
I don't know what the "standard Kaireene" edition is. Can you send me the
publisher's name?
