Re: Translate from arabic

 >Greeting:
 >Assalaamu alaykum,

        as-salaamu Ralay-kum

        "the-peace upon-you" (masc/common pl.)

        (I'm trying to use the X-SAMPA for the `ayn sound.)

 >Closing:
 >Wa salaam

        "And peace".  Sometimes "waa" gets used for other things, sort
of like "oh."

        I'm more used to hearing "maRa s-salaama" as I hear it: with
peace.
