Could the applied
definition of the medd (i.e. lengthening the sound with a letter of the medd
letters) include the leen letters too since they do lengthen in the case of
the medd leen?
Answer
The leen letters are
saakinah
with a fat-hah before it and
saakinah
with a fat-h before it.These are
different than the medd letters which are
saakinah
with a kasrah before it,
saakinah
with a dhammah before it, and the true alif.Since there is a fat-h before the
or
in
the case of a medd leen, the letter is not considered a medd letter, therefore
the definition in your question could not be used for the medd leen.The medd leen occurs when there is a leen letter followed by a single
voweled letter and we are stopping on that word with a sukoon on the last
letter, as in:
.There is a lengthening of 2, 4, or 6 vowel counts in a medd leen.
