Lesson summary

If two letters made close together come side by side, the first merges into the second: لْ + ر and قْ + ك.

How do I read it?

Do not say the first letter on its own; merge it into the second.

Letters: لْ + ر · قْ + ك

  • Not every pair of nearby letters merges; this lesson has only these two pairs.
