I think the problem here is with the underlined word; Muhammad may not 
be familiar with compound cmavo.  Is that it?

Basically, when you have a bunch of cmavo in a row, sometimes people 
write them with no spaces between (because after all, we can tell where 
they start and end by the consonant-vowel structure), especially if the 
cmavo-phrase is in some sense tightly linked together.  So {lo nu} is a 
very common construction, and people sometimes like to write is as {lonu}.

Yow.  I wonder how this will work out in your Arabic orthography.  
Leaving spaces out is not such a huge deal in printed Latin letters, but 
it alters the shapes of things hugely in Arabic, potentially making it 
harder to recognize the word as a stream of cmavo.
