LessonsRules of Hamzah — Taḥqīq, Tashīl, Ibdāl and Hamzat al-WaṣlQuiz

If the first hamzah is waṣl and the second qaṭʿ, the book distinguishes a fresh start from connected recitation. A relevant replacement occurs on starting at that word, but when joined from the previous word the waṣl drops and that initial-form replacement no longer applies in the same way.
The same written word can thus behave differently depending on the reading boundary.
