 * Arabic Gender Guesser
 *
 * This PHP class attempts to guess the gender of Arabic names.
 * 
 * Arabic nouns are either masculine or feminine. Usually when referring to a male, 
 * a masculine noun is usually used and when referring to a female, a feminine noun 
 * is used. In most cases the feminine noun is formed by adding a special characters 
 * to the end of the masculine noun. Its not just nouns referring to people that 
 * have gender. Inanimate objects (doors, houses, cars, etc.) is either masculine or 
 * feminine. Whether an inanimate noun is masculine or feminine is mostly 
 * arbitrary.      
 * 
 * Example:
 * <code>
 *   include('./I18N/Arabic.php');
 *   $obj = new I18N_Arabic('Gender');
 *      
 *   echo "$name ";
 * 
 *   if ($obj->isFemale($name) == true) { 
 *      echo '(Female)';
 *   }else{
 *      echo '(Male)';
 *   }    
 * </code>
