Observation

نـ

is the consonant n . The form of this letter will slightly change depending on its position within the word (beginning, middle, end).

نانا نونو نونا

ا is the long vowel a as “a” in fate but sometimes the a inclines towards « a » in father, rather .

نانا نونا

Arabic letters have to be tied. We cannot separate them as in Latin languages. They have two hands one to the left and one to the right.

But, nevertheless, six letters have one hand missing, the left one. You started already to

deal with one of them : نونا

Did you notice the gap in the middle of the

word? و is one of those letters. ا is the

second one: نانا .
