The book closes this discussion with three practical cautions. 1. Hamzah has strength through jahr and shiddah, but its firmness must not be exaggerated into an unnatural forced sound. 2. Fāʾ and hāʾ should be pronounced gently. 3. ʿAyn and ḥāʾ should not be strangled in the throat: articulate them gracefully at the middle throat.
Review the mnemonics: فحثه شخص سكت (10 hams); أجد قط بكت (8 shiddah); لن عمر (5 tawassuṭ); خص ضغط قظ (7 istiʿlāʾ); ص ض ط ظ (4 iṭbāq); and قطب جد (5 qalqalah). The next lesson follows the book into the per-letter table and fuller treatment of non-opposed qualities.
