In the story
Ustadh Farid
شَكْل واحِد. ثَلاثَة حُروف. مَعَ الفَتْحَة: جَ حَ خَ.
Salma
Did you catch that? Just like the tooth letters, Arabic uses one core shape and changes it with dots. Farid just read them with the little 'a' vowel stroke on top: جَ حَ خَ.
Salma
A dot underneath makes the 'j' sound, جَ. No dots at all makes a breathy 'h' sound, حَ. And a dot on top makes a scraping sound, خَ. Say them with me: جَ حَ خَ.
