Short \u1403<\/span> or \u140a<\/span> at the beginning<\/h3>\n

In many words the short \u1403<\/strong><\/span> or \u140a<\/strong><\/span> at the beginning is not pronounced in ordinary fast speech. However, you can hear it clearly when a prefix is added to the beginning of a word. Make sure to write the \u1403<\/strong><\/span> or \u140a<\/strong><\/span>, even when it is not audible or pronounced.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
