Todo

Middle Japanese + Arabic/Persian + subsequent sound changes

sarāmōreikun = assalāmu 3alaykum

ōreikunsarān = wa 3alaykum salām

S, D, T, Z -> suw-, zuw-, tsuw-, zuw-

zuiyōdā = Difda3

nōsu = nafs

ishichōmāru = isti3māl

tasuwauru, tasōru - taSawwur

rutsuō - luTf

tsuibu = Tibb

bōzū = ba3D

tsuiyōru = Tifl
