Letter[edit]
ض
- Arabic letter ḍād
Arabic[edit]
Etymology[edit]
The original pronunciation of the letter was a pharyngealised lateral fricative /ɮˤ/. Early on, this sound was merged with ظ (ẓ) /ðˤ/, a merger that is reflected in all colloquial dialects. In dialects with stopping of dental fricatives, both were then shifted further to /dˤ/. When the ability to produce the sound /ɮˤ/ waned some time after its loss from actual speech, the Quran readers reassigned the stop /dˤ/ to ض (ḍ) in order to maintain its distinction from ظ (ẓ).
