وَيَجُوزُ فِي آخِرِ الْمُنَادَى الْمُرَخَّمِ الضَّمَّةُ وَالْحَرَكَةُ الْأَصْلِيَّةُ، كَمَا تَقُولُ فِي «حَارِثٍ»: «يَا حَارِ!» وَ«يَا حَارُ!».
Translation: The shortened vocative may retain the original vowel or take ḍamma: from Ḥārith, “yā Ḥāri” and “yā Ḥāru” are both cited.

Yā Ḥāri retains the vowel of the remaining rāʾ; Yā Ḥāru treats the truncated form with a new ḍamma.
