Letters Group 2: Jiim to Khaa

This lesson covers three letters that share a distinctive base shape — a deep curve resembling a bowl or cup: Jiim (ج), Haa (ح), and Khaa (خ). These letters are distinguished from each other entirely by their dots.

The Cup/Bowl Base Shape

All three letters in this group share the same basic form — a rounded, open shape that looks like a bowl. The dot (or absence of a dot) tells you which letter you are reading:

Letter	Dots	Position
ج (Jiim)	1	Below (inside the bowl)
ح (Haa)	0	No dot
خ (Khaa)	1	Above
