ar_EG:
name_fmt    "%p%t%f%t/
%g"

ar_SA:
name_fmt    "%d%t%g%t/
%m%t%f"

I have no idea which one is correct.

Yes, that’s why I asked where Akhilesh got this from.

Akhilesh’s patch sets the contents of LC_NAME identical
for all Arabic locales. But I have now idea whether

Ms  -> الآنسة
Miss-> يغيب
Mr  -> السيد
Mrs -> السيدة

is valid for all Arabic dialects. Possibly not,
there maybe differences. So I would like some better proof
that this is really the same for all Arabic locales
than just
