Re: Arabic Questions

I would describe it as a deep rumbling sound. This sound occurs in my conlang, Aryezi.

Arabic that I need help on. It's often transliterated as c, it's name is cayn

?\ in SAMPA - a voiced pharyngeal fricative. Of course, I'm not the best person
at understanding those descriptions (even though I've looked up pharynx in the
dictionary), so does anyone know a way to describe it, or at least make a sound
file in which you say "cayn" (?\ajn). Also, the word for "yes" is
transliterated as 'aywa, but the Arabic alphabet spells it as "nXcXm" (X =
unwritten vowels) - can anyone explain that to me?
