With fatḥatayn, the n-sound of tanwīn disappears at a full stop and, wherever the rule applies, is replaced by an alif-length sound.
«سَوَاءً»: stop with the alif-length ending, not the audible tanwīn n.
«هُدًى»: follow its actual Qurʾānic written ending, including alif maqṣūrah.
Special spellings require separate attention; do not mechanically treat all tanwīn endings alike.
Orthography matters at waqf. The contrast between final «ة» and «ت», the presence or absence of alif, and unusual Qurʾānic spellings all affect the allowed pronunciation.
Do not invent an ending by analogy alone. A word written with tāʾ marbūṭah may stop with a hāʾ sound, while an open tāʾ does not automatically follow that rule.
