My class won't formally start for another couple weeks Insha Allah. But the prep materials I reviewed last night reminded me that I need a good workflow to be able to write out answers for my lessons.

One nice little type of exercise: I have one of those magic "top 500 words in the Quran" lists. To help me memorize those words, I can use the Lexilogos keyboard to type individual letters and diacriticals, and the resulting words are displayed on screen. Then I can plug those words into Quran.com and do a search... and the ayat containing the word come up.

And guess what, my input does not have to exactly match the way the words are written in Quran.com to find a correct match in terms of meaning. The diacriticals tend to be the variants: the sukoon can be written in a different style, for example.

Link to the Lexilogos keyboard (again). Best one I've found so far.

LE SPHINX was a pocket device, developed around 1930 by Société des Codes Télégraphiques Georges Lugagne in ( ). The device consists of 10 sliding bars with two scrambled each, and should therefore be classed as an alphabet transposition . At the time, it was advertised as a method for writing when sending ( ) .

Hello linguists and alphabet lovers. Found great article in Jstor
Kazakhstan and Uzbekistan are going to replace Cyrillic with Latin lettering to write their languages. "It’s the latest chapter in the region’s fraught history of alphabet reform."
How these Turkic and other populations of the former Russian Empire managed with the chops and changes between Cyrillic, Arabic, indigenous alphabets and Latin is beyond belief.
