Classical Arabic Transliteration (CAT) should be used when possible.
There exists a transliteration scheme for Lebanese dialects, called
"Alphaleb".
More info about these on
http://www.hiof.no/ludvigsen/webdoc/levant_servers.html#Language.
Entries should state where it is used. I guess the entry itself should
be in CAT, but the comment should give more about pronunciation.
Use IPASCII for this.
