Comparing versions of the Quran

COMPARISONS

  For all the following tests, the shaddah "»" was converted
  to letter-doubling
  
  Comparing "qus" against "quv", 
  literally [diffz]:
  
    compare-versions -keepShaddah quv qus ' '
    
  
  Comparing "quv" to "qus", with 
  shaddah expansion and ignoring "°" = sukuns [diffa]:
  
    compare-versions -expandShaddah quv qus '\260'
    
  
  Comparing "quv" to "qus", with shaddah expansion and ignoring
  the charcaters "âäîïûü¡!~°" = short vowels, sub/sup-hamza,
  sup-maddah, sukun [diffb].

    compare-versions -expandShaddah quv qus \
      '\342\344\356\357\373\374\241\041\176\260'
    

  Comparing "quv" to "qph" (semi-phonetic version), with shaddah
  expansion and ignoring differences in "âäîïûü¡!~°'" = sup-maddah,
  sub/sup-hamza, short vowels, sukun, freestanding hamza [diffc]:

    compare-versions -expandShaddah quv qph \
      '\342\344\356\357\373\374\241\041\176\260\047'
    

  Comparing with consonant-only version, ignoring sup-maddah,
    sub/sup-hamza, short vowels, sukun, shaddah, freestanding hamza [diffd]:

    compare-versions -keepShaddah quv qcs \
      '\342\344\356\357\373\374\241\041\176\260\273\047'


  Comparing with phonetic version, ignoring madda, hamza, short
  vowels, sukun:

    compare-versions -expandShaddah quv qcs \
      '\342\344\356\357\373\374\241\041\176\260\273\047'
