If there are a lot of people looking for that, I can give it some time to build it. <br>

I've Cc-ed Assem Chelli, one of the authors of the algorithm and the<br>
one who contributed it who hopefully can answer your question.<br>
<br>
It seems we're currently completely lacking a page about this algorithm<br>
on the website, which would be good to address. I see Assem already<br>
has an open issue about this:<br>
<br>
<a href="https://github.com/assem-ch/arabicstemmer/issues/8" target="_blank">https://github.com/assem-ch/arabicstemmer/issues/8</a><br>
<br>
Assem: If it helps, I'm happy to create a stub page for you to expand<br>
upon.<br>
<br>
Cheers,<br>
Olly<o:p></o:p></p>
