Checks the <a href="http://www.xrce.xerox.com/competencies/content-analysis/arabic/input/keyboard_input.html">Xerox Arabic morphological analyzer</a> for an Arabic word.  The analyzer will parse the word into its component morphemes and give an English translation.

Note that the word MUST be entered in the <a href="http://www.qamus.org/transliteration.htm">Buckwalter transliteration</a>.

Example:
buck kitAb

parses all possible meanings of the Arabic word for "book".

It's also possible to omit short vowels and case endings from your entry.  The morphological analyzer can take care of that.

Example:
buck ktAb

finds the same parses as the previous example, as well as additional parses that have a different vowel between 'k' and 't'.
