Hi Aida,

Perfect timing! I'm glad my delay played a useful role.

Hi Aida,

Thanks for your patience! It's been a hectic month and I wanted to give your accomplished readings the amount of attention they deserve. For the length of section 20 and its richness of vocabulary, I have suggestions on just a handful of words, though unfortunately some of them are recurrent:

(4:23, 4:41, 4:47, 7:08, 13:59, 14:05) I think when the word means "horse", it's pronounced faras: https://www.almaany.com/ar/dict/ar-ar/%D9%81%D8%B1%D8%B3/
(18:10) seq. 106: I would guess it's تبطشتُ (I fell upon), based on one of the meaning of بطش (بَطَشَ عليه: سَطَا في سُرعة), but تبطش doesn't seem to appear in dictionaries.
(28:03, 29:00, 38:29) seq. 109, 110, 113 I believe there's a shadda in سخّم https://www.almaany.com/ar/dict/ar-ar/%D8%B3%D8%AE%D9%85/ (it appears as تسخيم at one point)
(34:55) seq. 112 I hear هزاز instead of هزار
(33:23, 37:06) seq. 111, 113 I think it's pronounced عَرف when it means "fragrance" (#15): https://www.almaany.com/ar/dict/ar-ar/%D8%B9%D8%B1%D9%81/
(37:23) seq. 113: I believe it's "mumassak" again

Also, Checker gave me a warning about the volume. It's actually exactly at the lower boundary of our standard range (86.0 dB), and your other sections also have similar volume. If you want to amplify it, +1 dB should be enough.

I'll start on the next section soon.

Hi Aida,

Glad I could be of use. Section 20 is PL OK!

Just a couple of suggestions for section 21:

(2:48) seq. 115 I hear ثم انها instead of ثم انهما
(8:57) seq. 117 I think اوزة starts with an i: https://www.almaany.com/ar/dict/ar-ar/%D8%A3%D9%88%D8%B2/

Have a good Sunday,
Michael

Hi Aida,

There were more words in section 22 that I was unsure of than in the others and you've done a amazing job with them.

Just a couple of comments:

(1:13, 1:15) seq. 122 I think it's حِلَل and حَلّة https://www.almaany.com/ar/dict/ar-ar/%D8%AD%D9%84%D8%A9/
(17:52) seq. 128 I think I hear شَعر instead of شِعر

Also, there's an extra "0" at the end of filename.

Have a great day,
Michael

Hi Michael,

Section (21) (الصبية الأولى والكلبتان السوداوان) is ready for spot PL : https://librivox.org/uploads/availle/alflaylahwalaylah_21_unknown_128kb.mp3

Hi Aida,

Section 21 is PL OK and I have just one comment about section 23 (maybe my ears are playing a trick on me):

(2:33) seq. 130 I don't think I hear the tashdid in عزّم (put a spell on)

That story could have been a short book all on its own!

Have a nice weekend,
Michael

Hi Michael,

Section (22) is ready for spot PL : https://librivox.org/uploads/availle/alflaylahwalaylah_22_unknown_128kb.mp3

I just removed "0" at the end of the filename.

@ (1:13, 1:15) seq. 122 : حُلّة - حُلَلٌ are correct. The meaning is : الحُلَّةُ : الثَّوبُ الجيِّدُ الجديدُ غليظًا أو رقيقًا
@ (17:52) seq. 128 : شِعر. The pronunciation is correct.

Thank you,
Aïda

Correction @ (2:33) seq. 130 : عزّم (tashdid)

The stories are nested! Stories within stories!

Take care,

Hi Aida,

Sections 22 and 23 are PL OK.

Take care!
