29th Letter -- The Open Vowel, fatHa

The vowel fatHa, and the other vowels, have no Sun or Moon features like the consonants.  These last 3 pictures are not like the other pictures for the consonants.  These three pictures color code the changes in the pronunciation of the vowels that take place in relationship to different consonant pairings.




f@tha = jaw opened, tongue pulled back; lengthened by the letter "elif" shown below as "l". 



e (as in cheddar) = ...َ۸ (open/light syllable)


ae (as in acorn) = ...lَ۸ (open/light syllable)@ (as in apple) ... ۸َ۸ (closed/light syllable)

@@ (as in apple)
 = ...۸lَ۸ (closed/light syllable)


a (as in red onion) = ﷽َ     ...(any final open syllable)


A (as in olive) =  ...َ٤(Dark anywhere in syllable)


A (as in jaw olive) =   ...lَ٤(Ditto, but lengthened)
