It is premised here that your expertise would be more to the point for the lack of credentials of a mere student of languages, not being an expert there; just a disciple of the original language that the Quran attempts to erase, but cannot.
However, knowing that the alphabet used in Farsi is based in the replacement brought to Elam/Media/Persia/Iran by the invading hordes of the nomadic tribes of the Sabeans, Temanites, Dedanites, all the sons of Ishmael. It is yet to be seen how Mr. Khattab reconciles that, whether in Farsi, al-Arabi or Aramaic/Syriac. That is the inquiry/answer that needs reviewing. Thanks DNM.
