Dr ĂAbdur RaĄąm ibn ĂAbdullãh al-Shanqątą*

The paper discusses the different characteristics of the vowels such as:

• ijtizĀā (partial pronunciation) and itmãm (complete pronunciation),
• imtizãj (being mixed) and khulĈĆ (being unmixed),
• taāthąr (influencing the neighbouring vowel) and taāaththur (being influenced by the neighbouring vowel).

The paper discusses different degrees of each of these phonetic phenomenon.
