The 40 HTML files used here for the LaneLexicon.htm menus were prepared by Dr. Thomas F. McDaniel, Professor Emeritus,

Three different Arabic fonts have been used in creating the menus in order to circumvent the conflicts with the characrter keys [ { }< > ; ^ / ] used in the HTML coding as well as having various letter assignments in different Arabic fonts.
