            Bug ID: 17225
           Summary: Localized ar-SY month names for May and June are
                    incorrect
           Product: glibc
           Version: unspecified
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: P2
         Component: localedata
          Assignee: unassigned at sourceware dot org

Full month names of May and June at lines 127 and 128 are incorrect.
May is translated as "ÙÙØØØÙ" (I'm not even sure this is an Arabic word), and
should by "ØÙØØ".

June is translated as "ØØÙØ" which would be OK as an abbreviated form (still
not very much used), because it missing two letters at the end, and should be
"ØØÙØØÙ".

Also, the abbreviated forms are translated for May as "ÙÙØØ" (line 109), which
shoud be "ØÙØØ" (no abbr. form) and for June as "ØØÙØØÙ", which is the FULL
form (I see they are swapped).

TO sum up:

109 should be "<U0623><U064A><U0627><U0631>" (ØÙØØ)
110 (ØØÙØØÙ) should not be changed (this is the FULL form, but it should not be
changed because abrreviated forms are not familiar in Arabic)

127 should be same as 109
128 should be same as 110 "<U062D><U0632><U064A><U0631><U0627><U0646>" (ØØÙØØÙ)


This is a long standing bug and I'm still wondering why it has not been
reported before.
