Looks good except for one problem:

The 4th code  point in that translation for "October" is U+06CC ARABIC LETTER FARSI YEH.

It cannot be converted to ISO-8859-6, therefore the build of the
ar_IQ.ISO-8859-6 locale fails:

ar_IQ.ISO-8859-6...locales/ar_IQ:117: LC_TIME: unknown character in field `abmon'

I think that is a bug in CLDR and reported
