    Re: Arabic "Al" and star names
    From: Fred Hebard
    Date: 2009 Nov 7, 08:47 -0500

    I am reminded of the proper pronunciation of the name of what is now
    considered our outermost planet.  One needn't worry too much about
    pronunciation of Arabic names for stars if one has to say that!
