Test document

Some historical Arabic texts use Hebrew marks, but doing so in LibreOffice results in mispositioning of the marks.

Wow, I didn't realize the Qaraaites used Hebrew Nikkud on Arabic letters!

Reminds me a bit of how Maimonides wrote "Arabized" Hebrew - in Hebrew script, but using a lot of noun and verbs borrowed from Arabic rather than biblical Hebrew.
