In the translations
section of the English Wiktionary page about "flag",
the Arabic word for flag, "راية
| "raiẗ", is misspelled as
"رایة", using instead of the
regular Arabic "ي|i" the similar Farsi-only letter
"ی|ẏ" — which looks either like an Arabic
"i" or like an Arabic "alef maksura" ("ى|y").
It looks the same, but it is wrong. (I’m warning, in case
you wonder, as I did.)
