29th, 30th, & 31st UNOFFICIAL Letters: fatHa, Damma, & kasRa

MaRHabaen to the 29th, 30th, and 31st mini-dreamscapes.  Don't look for 5 symbols in this Suura--they don't exist.


The short vowels, which don't count as letters are shown above with explanations given for their numerical associations.  The fatHa is first because it makes the same sound as 'elif, the first letter of the alphabet.  The Damma is second because it makes the same sound as the waaw.  The kasRa is last because it makes the same sound as ye, the last letter of the alphabet.

The colors will have to change on these vowels for future purposes, so expect this chart to disappear in the future and be replaced with a blood red moon, two blue love birds and a yellow pumpkin.  But for now this serves as a good introduction to the sort vowels.

PS: short vowels are neither Dark or Light, Solar or Lunar.  They are outside of the alphabet.  They are pseudo-letters in Arabic, written only as dashes and squiggles on top of other letters.
