* 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>
