  This paper introduces a spelling correction system which integrates
seamlessly with morphological analysis using a multi-tape formalism. Handling
of various Semitic error problems is illustrated, with reference to Arabic and
Syriac examples. The model handles errors vocalisation, diacritics, phonetic
syncopation and morphographemic idiosyncrasies, in addition to Damerau errors.
A complementary correction strategy for morphologically sound but
morphosyntactically ill-formed words is outlined.
