31 Lesson No. 10 There are three full vowels among the Arabic alphabets. These are: Alif ,wao , and ya. The rest are consonants. If there is a consonant letter with sign , , and after it is a vowel, which is either blank or with Jazm, the sound of the consonant letter is modified. Example:- is read baa ( ‘a’ is pulled high up), is boo, is bee (deep ‘e’ sound).
