Introduction
Ghayn-Seen-Lam. This conlang grammar - of which there is no doubt - is the guidance for the fearless, who navigate in incomprehensible word salad, spend out of what crypto provided, and those who enjoy what I've posted now and before, and are certain in choosing karma over boiler. They're on true procrastination with me and they're unproductive.
Whilst GeSeL 1 continued to japanize, eventually obtaining the label Semitic Japanese, GeSeL 2: Arabic Boogaloo restores the original vision of Getmarabic, in which you can use the Arabic grammar on any consonant cluster.
The possible application of this could be a zonlang for cosmopolitan Levant or a successor to Modern Standard Arabic, which is a zombie language, just like Literary Czech or Norsk Bokmål. What is Getmanic to Czech is GeSeL 2 to Arabic, sort of like Judeo-Arabic.
The anthem of this conlang is Zalzil Amna Israil or Kof Taase Beguim [sic], alternatively anything from Wah3ed Band if that happens to be censored. Gen Z seems to be unironically pro-Phallus-teen including Ham-ass, it's not just me being edgy 16yo anti-movement-restrictions anti-ethno-nationalist Horrorcore fan back when I made this blog.
There will be GeSeL 3: Semperanto (or G3S3L3) which will code the morphological categories straightforwardly without any prefixes or suffixes, and focus on Indo-European loanwords, with a special dialect Vocalized Acronym Creole.
Alphabets
The alphabet remains the same as in GeSeL 1, only owing to the preference of Arabic pronunciation of C as Thorn, G as Ghayn, J as Jay, X as Sheen. There is no Sad, Dad, Zad, Tad or whatever of these dotted consonants in the logical representation. Unlike Qaf, Ġayn and `ayn, I never learned how to pronounce them correctly and hope they are just like Klingon D and S. However, there is still P and V for roots from Hebrew. The vowel system is still 4.5 vowels, with E being treated as null vowel closer to schwa and I being super hard, and the morphing of A/I into Y, and O/U into W.
Dot above certain letters is a dagesh and macron is rafeh, which is an innovation in GeSeL 2. It may not display well but I don't care, Unicode said no more precomposed letters so the fonts just suck. If you are fancy you can write the dot inside the letter like the real dagesh. Rafeh refers to fricative pronunciation being forced by CSVSC phonotactics. B̄ and P̄ are the Spanish labial aproximant and its voiceless analogue. D̄ and T̄ are Japanese R, again voiced and devoiced. Ḡ is explicit Ghayn, K̄ is soft Kh, as in Standard German. J̄ is maybe Zad, but I can only pronounce it as Klingon S and Polish Sz, Q̄ is velar fricative, not necessarily `ayn or Ḡayn. Since the apostrophe can't support dots or macrons, acute is used for ´alif and grave is used instead for `ayn. Fancy Egyptologists can use Ꜣ and Ꜥ. There is slight inconsistency in `-Ġ pair compared to غ-ع in Arabic script, stemming from bad understanding of bad transliterations. Exact IPA is not given to avoid prescriptivism and allow some dialects and accents. The accents are intended only for paedagogical purposes, they don't appear in database.
Especially important alternative scripts are: Arabic, Hebrew, Phoenician, Samaritan, Aramaic, and Nabataean. These were never fully specified in GeSeL 1 due to missing vowels. Other scripts are the same as for GeSeL 1.
Usually Arabic is vocalized (O is Damma below, E is Sukun or nothing), but ا can be used for A, ه can be used for E, ى for I, ۏ for O, and ۊ for U.
Hebrew final forms come in handy, with some help of runny nose. There is ך left for K̄, ץ for J̄, ן for D̄, ע for `, and ה for vowel carrier. Rafeh and dagesh are supported.
There are no final forms in Phoenician and Aramaic, so 𐤄 and 𐡄 had to be used for F, and 𐤏 and 𐡏 for V. There are no vowels signs in the Unicode block so just duplicate 𐤅𐤏𐤉𐤄𐤀 𐡅𐡏𐡉𐡄𐡀 . This isn't GeSeL 3 so you should be able to do without them.
There are vowel signs in Samaritan, and as in Hebrew, ࠄ is the vowel carrier. Use ࠁ࠙ ࠐ࠙ for V and F. There may be some font issues, just 10 more years.
Unused Nabataean final forms: 𐢎𐢒𐢔𐢜 (K, M, N, Š).
For those who like LTR syllabaries, Ge'ez looks usable. It has links to Old South and North Arabian. ፐ for Pe and ጰ for Ve are not in Old Arabian, so 𐩲 for 'ayn and 𐩶 for ghayn had to be coopted.
Encoding of Proto-Sinaitic in Unicode is eagerly expected. Meanwhile we will have to contend with emoji and hieroglyphs. Hebrew speakers may wish to use some different symbols closer to the meaning than to the shape.

Morphology
This section should closely follow the standard Arabic grammar with some simplifications, like removing that gendered nonsense, possibly with some inspirations from Hebrew, which may have been tainted by Yiddish and German in the modernization process.
Nouns
As in Arabic, there are 3 cases: Nominative, Dative and Accusative. All nouns have different forms for each case. Because of Yiddish and German, where Genetive is mostly used for syntactical constructions that an average AfD supporter cannot fathom, Dative and Accusative will work exactly the same.
Prefixes:
mu- - person
ma- - place
Adjectives
akbar
Pronouns
All pronouns have been truncated to not conflict with the monolithic root system.
Numerals
Most are actually roots.
Verbs
Adverbs
Only grading.
Prepositions
bin - of, from, von, van, genetive case
Conjunctions and logic
wa - and
innahun - indeed, used more like japanese yo/ne
Particles
Syntax
While Arabic is VSO, GeSeL 2 is still SOV. VSO is a question, and SVO is a command.
Lexical notes
The lexicon is the same as in GeSeL 1. The default root package is S (Semitic). Then L (Loanwords), then A (Acronyms), then J (Japanese). I project that Semitic languages will leverage the potential of morphologically significant acromym vocalization.
Semantics follows the pre-islamic meaning. Czechia is atheist so no use for religious terminology. Therefore jihad is just an ordinary effort, not holy war and amna is just being certain..
