34. LESSON 8. JOINING A VOWEL BEARING. LETTER TO A QUIESCENT ONE. In Arabic mark ✰ is called sukūn. It literally means calm or quiescence and the letter bearing quiescence mark is called säkin that is quiescent. . So when you join a letter with a quiescent one, settle the voice on the quiescent, then it will be pronounced correctly. For example in the word if you settle nun 0 on the quiescent ainε it might be read, otherwise ‘ain would be converted to 'alif 1 and the word would be تَابُدُ read as nābudu which is obviously wrong. So if you want to read a sākin (quiescent) letter correctly, settle the voice on it. Please make sure, that while settling the voice on quiescent the letter should not shake nor should the sound take much time. . EXERCISE جَنْ تَنْ ذَنْ ام لَمْ. Dhan. Tan jan sam lam 'am
