I'm getting a strange behaviour when loading polyglossia and arabxetex together, and enabling \setotherlanguages{arabic}.
MWE:
\documentclass[a4paper,12pt,twoside]{memoir}
\usepackage{xcolor}
\usepackage{polyglossia}
\setmainlanguage{english}
\setotherlanguages{arabic}
\usepackage{arabxetex}
\newfontfamily\arabicfont[Script=Arabic,Scale=1.5]{Scheherazade}
\begin{document}
1. English text
2. \textarabic{\textcolor{red}{مرحبا }بالعالم}
3. \textarabic{\textcolor{blue}{ـُ}}\\
4. \arab{\textcolor{brown}{mi'aT} , mi'at"An}
\end{document}
I assume that I can somehow safely(?) remove \setotherlanguages{arabic}, as this is predefined in arabxetex package, however I can't seem to figure out why character in line (3.) only shows up when disabling arabxetex (and removing its environment in line 4., and enabling \setotherlanguages{arabic} again).
PS I need both polyglossia and arabxetex working side by side for correct typesetting in colours (full text vs diacritics) in different part of the document - this shouldn't be an issue either from the documentation of the packages, LuaLaTexXeLaTeX.
PSS This (link) seems to be related, but can't seem to find how they manage to solve the problem.

\usepackage{arabxetex} \let\textarabic\relax \let\Arabic\relax \setotherlanguages{arabic}though I don't know if that would break other things. Also I don't think you can use LuaLaTeX witharabxetexXeLaTeXand notLuaLaTeX(typo). For future references for anybody trying it out in the later, cf. packagearabluatex.
