Indeed; I did think of that.

I'll need to continue looking, although I can no longer regard Arabic as
only recognizable for what it is, but no more. It's looking progressively
more familiar.

Agreed; it seems, though, that in some, maybe even many instances, just
where along a given stroke one letter is ending and another is beginning
doesn't necessarily seem obvious. Again, I'll look further.

Fair enough, and no offense taken!
