Locate kaf and gaf in complete words

The book entry supplies کتاب. Find ک at its beginning, then follow the whole word to its final ب. Copy the complete spelling before moving to the next example. This returns to an earlier checked word while directing your attention to a different position within it.[2]

The separate dictionary entry gives گانا with a song sense. Locate گ at its beginning and compare the extra upper feature with the kaf reference. Keep the following letters and the final alif when copying. The selected noun meaning is song; do not change the activity into a claim about a particular performance or singer.[3]

Recognise lam in red

The dictionary records لال as the colour red. Find ل at the beginning, follow alif, and locate lam again at the end. Copy the headword and mark those two positions in your notes. The selected colour entry has its own displayed spelling; the separate ruby entry returned by the same query is not substituted for it.[4]

Find meem in table

The first میز entry gives table or desk. Locate م at the beginning and preserve the following letters. Compare the full spelling with the book example before matching each with its meaning. In the exercise, identify the piece of furniture from the selected lexical sense, then confirm the actual beginning. Keep the displayed word intact instead of reducing its meaning to a guessed English letter sound.[5]

Your learning objective
