See, now, that I don't know.  Some experts have assumed so, but barring a
discovery in some monk's marginalia or an unknown early medieval cookbook
surfacing, I don't see it being resolved.  Most non-sacred Old C-a texts
were written in Arabic script by Arabs explaining the language of the plebs
to each other, and the paper documents have not survived particularly well.
