Thread:User talk:Fenakhay/About گ in Arabic entries

My reasoning for using گ (as the primary spelling) instead of ق:
 * 1) /g/ and /q/ are distinguished in dialects (not every ق is pronounced as گ), so it makes sense to represent them distinctly.
 * 2) گ is used when writing down these dialects, particularly in songs lyrics, as well as in academic literature, for example, Qafisheh's Gulf Arabic dictionary consistently uses گ in roots (ق in lemmas though).
 * 3) For the entries to not pile up. Any Arabic article can potentially contain almost 30 individual entries (that's how many "Arabic"s are there in ISO 639-3). With گ we can move at least Iraqi, Hijazi and Gulf Arabic (and potentially some other varieties) into specific articles, making it all a bit more readable.

Btw I don't understand what was wrong with the لسة and لسا merger and the etymology in تريق.
