        From what I recall, what Arabic does is more like elision,
that's
to say that sounds at the end of words disappear at pauses in the
sentence,
whereas French does it the other way round, with sounds that appear when
a word is not followed by a pause. But well, it may be the way I learned
it, because both processes don't seem very different to me, more a
matter of description than a matter of real morphological difference.
But I'm not sure of it.
