Re: arabic alphabet, two "ha" letters ?

sci.lang:

this speaker says ...

(4) "tha" like "la la la" except with "th" so it would be "tha"
(5) "jeem", which sounds like "seem" except with a "j" at the
beginning, "jeem"
(6) "ha", like as in "hat" w/o the "t"
(7) a throat noise "ggg" followed by "a". sounds like "ha" except
"ggga".

is that one "xa:?" ...

It seems you're still confusing some, or you source is. The correct
order is as displayed and sounded here:

(Read from upper right, then to lower lines, still from right to
left). See also the speaking IPA-charts

haa is in the glottal coloumn, xaa and ghain are in uvular, and h.aa
and `ain in pharyngeal.
