Its six letters are collected in فِرَّ مِنْ لُبٍّ: ف، ر، م، ن، ل، ب. Some are articulated in the front region of the tongue, and others at the lips.

Examples: ف، ب, and م involve the lips, whereas ر، ن, and ل use front-tongue positions. Their relative ease of articulation is a classification of sound production, not permission to rush through them without clarity.
