U.S. Army FM 34-54 — Appendix G

Downloaded from https://www.everyspec.com FM 34-54 Figure G-10 illustrates typewritten Arabic. Note that lines 1, 2 5, and 10 begin (on the right) with the definite article (letter 1 and letter 27). There are 20 other obvious occurrences of these letters at the beginning of words and several others that are less obvious. Lines 1, 2, and 9 end (on the left) with letter 32. Letter 32 occurs five other times in the sample. Arabic script permits some letters to be stretched in order to even out text on the left. The long lines at the left of the sample are instances of this. G-18
