==November 2022 CL - Classical Arabic Grammar==
Many of the standard articles that we use for Arabic names rely on particular transliterations systems, some relatively casual (not distingushing long and short vowels or emphatic consonants from their non-emphatic equivalents) and others relatively complete and scholarly. Most, however, do not clearly show the way the article al- 'the' is pronounced before the "sun consonants" in classical Arabic. For these consonants, the l assimilates to the following sound, so that in the name al-Zahra' the article is pronounced \az\ even though it is written al- in many transliteration systems.


For more information about how the particle al behaves when it is followed by a sun or a moon consonant in Classical Arabic, please reference this excellent guide by Sara al-Garnatiyya, Beacon Principal Herald: https://sarasartsandsciences.wordpress.com/2021/12/12/classical-arabic-grammar-diatrical-marks-the-definite-article-sun-letters-and-moon-letters/. We encourage people to consider transliterations that include that pronunciation information but remind remind submitters and heralds alike that any standard transliteration of non-Roman letters is acceptable, as long as the whole name is consistent, per SENA Appendix D.

==December 2020 CL - Transliterations of Arabic Names==
This month we were asked to consider the transliteration A'isha, which appears in "Period Arabic Names and Naming Practices (2nd edition)" by Da'ud ibn Auda along with several other transliterations of the same name. Since this article was published in 2003, academic work regarding the transliterations of Arabic names has improved. It was shown during the commentary process that A'isha was no longer an acceptable transliteration of its underlying name. Therefore, as of this Cover Letter, we will no longer register this transliteration.
 
Heralds are reminded that SENA Appendix D has the accepted transliterations for Arabic names (http://heraldry.sca.org/sena.html#AppendixD). As we find other transliterations that no longer meet this standard, we will slowly remove them from use on a case-by-case basis.

==September 2012 Cover Letter:'''
From Palimpsest and Pelican: Mismatches in Appendix C [[http://heraldry.sca.org/loar/2012/09/12-09cl.html#3|*]]
From Palimpsest and Pelican: Mismatches in Appendix C [[http://heraldry.sca.org/loar/2012/09/12-09cl.html#3|*]]
A couple enterprising heralds pointed out to me that there were further mismatches in Appendix C of SENA beyond the two repaired in the June 2012 Cover Letter. After consultation with Pelican, it is clear that in all cases of mismatch, they should be resolved by making them compatible in both directions. Appendix C has been updated to resolve all the mismatches.
