One letter, several shapes
A letter's shape depends on its neighbours. At the start it joins only the next letter, in the middle both neighbours, at the end only the letter before it.
| ه reads as | Example |
|---|---|
| h | ماه · māh, moon |
| final -e | خانِه · khāne, house |
Compare the whole word: not every final ه is h.
