Textual Notes
Line '3. According to Somali tradition, Sheekh Yuusuf
Barkhadle devised a mnemonic system which made it
easy for the Somali children to learn the rudiments
of the Quran. This mnemonic system, which is still
used in Quranic schools, explains by means of short
descriptive phrases in Somali how one should pronounce
the letters and diacritics representing Arabic vowel
sounds.
