Stopping on the Ends of Words Part 7

As stated in the previous lessons on stopping on the ends of words, there are five different ways of stopping on the ends of words.  The first four have been discussed in the last several lessons and this lesson explains the last way of stopping.  Some words can be stopped on more than one way, and some words can only be stopped on one way.  The five possible ways of stopping are:

 1.    (the pure, unmixed sukoon)

 2.    (giving only 1/3 of a vowel count)-to be discussed later

 3.    (a dhammah of the two lips, with no sound)-to be discussed later

  4.     (deletion)

   5.    (substitution)

and verse 15 in surah Al-'Alaq:

The second case

This case consists of   that is at the end of a singular noun, as in:
