      but the most striking to my eyes is the spelling of imra'at- "woman" in the following two verses

      when the wife of 'Imran said, "My Lord, indeed I have pledged to You what is in my womb" (335)

      And if a woman fears from her husband contempt or evasion, there is no sin upon them if they make terms of settlement between them - and settlement is best (412

      Why is the final t written with t' in the first case, and with t' marbtah in the other?

      He seems to have not noticed visually that the first is in construct and definite not carrying tanween, while the next is with tanween.

        I know of, both are pronounced with the same final consonant, t, followed in both cases by the same case vowel, u.

        Here again he is missing that the second is pronounced with Noon not simply vowel u,

          rest and bounty and a garden of pleasure (5689)
          Other cases, however, are written with t' marbtah

          Near it is the Garden of Refuge (5315)

          Here again his eyes miserably failed him to notice the difference of indefinite and definiteness. First is indefinite, second is definite.
