20.12 When hamzah is followed by the extra
alif (ـا.ً ..), mentioned inchapter 5, or by a suffix pronoun, and preceded by a letter which can be
connected in writing from both sides (such as: ..ـبـ.. (^) .ـتـ.. (^) ..ـجـ.. etc.)
and which has a suku ̄n (^) ــْــ, the bearer of the hamzah is always ya ̄
/y/
..ـئـ.. (without dots), e.g.
(a) Followed by an extra
alif:
(b) Followed by a suffix pronoun:
20.13 When the hamzah occurs at the end of a word (or word stem)
preceded by one of the five letters ..ـو ..ـز ..ـر ..ـذ ..ـد, which can
be connected only from the right and which have a suku ̄n (^) ــْــ , there
will be two alternatives for writing the hamzah:
