Markup of Arabic translations -- NMSU

The Arabic translations. Since there are only two texts, a coding of 2 or 3 is always a full coding of 2[A,B] or 3[A,B]. For this text, I went over our annotator's coding and marked where I disagreed, and added my coding after a slash. Most cases involved segments judged equivalent by the annotator, but that I felt expressed significantly different meaning. Those are marked 2/3.
