There are twenty-eight letters in the Arabic alphabet, the abjad, and all of them represent consonants. These are the names of the letters in order, together with the Unicode number and (in bold) the phonetic symbol used for the consonant. These symbols on the system used in printed books, where a dot is put under the so-called emphatic letters; in these cases an exclamation mark after them is used to convey that effect. For a different system more specific to the Web, see Arabic transliteration.
Nouns and adjectives and numerals have case endings.
So mu&allim 'teacher' is actually mu&allimu in the nominative, mu&allimi in the genitive, but these endings are not pronounced at the end of an utterance, i.e. last word in the sentence, or when you say the word in isolation. But the rules for counting syllables apply to the full form. So ?Allaah is really ?Allaahu, the second-last vowel -aa- is long, so that's where the stress goes. The result is that when you omit the true final syllable, the new final syllable is now stressed: ?ollóoh.
