Most useful
This is, perhaps, the most useful dictionary tool you can find in arabic. Actually it seems to be the only hope finally to solve the extremely serious, and in some way theoretical, problem of dictionary in this language. Here are a few suggestions to complement this wonderful tool to achieve the above goal and make it a dictionary near to perfect, in stead of a mere morphological utility, which it rather is presently :
1- Provide , not only the first or most usually encountered ones, but also the other full senses and meanings of the words.
2- Provide the prepositions to be used by the verbs and complementing them.
3- Include idioms an locutions as much as possible
4- Show not only the main root but also of which derived form a searched verb-word is. This should be readily possible, since the software should inevitably determined it in reaching the main root.
5- Show the plural of a searched singular noun as well as the singular of a searched plural form which should, similarly, be readily possible.
6- Providing links to the full declinations of sought verbs and nouns would enhance the quality and add great value and usefulness to the application. The implementation of these features also should not be difficult since the required informations must, by necessity, exist in the database of the software.
7- Finally add as much usage examples as possible.
Surely implementing all of these suggestions is a hard task. But "aratools" seems to be the only application on which this can be done. The developers, apparently, established a most versatile basis and solid mould already, on which perfection can be built. Congratulations.
