Examples and Grammar

qadhafa- to shoot; throw; ejaculate. Here you see in practice what letters that only can be written in one out of two forms, behave.
fakka- untie; loosen. This has been presented here before — double letter written as it was one.

dar'- protection. Here you see the hamza, and how it appears. Note that the hamza can be written in several different ways. In most instances you will see it with a "hamza carrier", that is either 'alif, wâw or yâ' with a hamza floating above this. In this example it appears without, but you will soon enough see plenty of examples of "hamza carriers". This is slightly complicated, but do as you must at this level: Learn by heart, and leave difficult grammar for later.

firaq- teams or farq- difference. This is one of very few words, where short vowels would have been useful. Both these are written in the same way, even if one is plural and the other singular. But you will have to read the real meaning out of the context, and from there remember the correct pronunciation.

ghurfa- room. Note the finishing tā' marbūta, indicating the feminine, but which is unpronounced.
zāra- to visit. One more of those words where one letter changes to another. You should be getting used to these by now.
