Alternative spelling of مَلَك ‎, alternative form of مَلْأَك
HI, I'd like to know what is the different between "Alternative spelling" and "alternative form". Thanks in advance. --Backinstadiums (talk) 08:08, 27 February 2017 (UTC)


 * "Alternative spelling" means it's only the spelling that is different. "Alternative form" means more could be different, such as the pronunciation. --WikiTiki89 18:18, 27 February 2017 (UTC)


 * O.k. so the pronunciation مَلَاك (malak) is irregular but correct, short /a/ despite its form?--Backinstadiums (talk) 18:47, 27 February 2017 (UTC)
 * Yes. The silent alif is left as a remnant of the original hamza, and does not represent a long vowel. --WikiTiki89 19:41, 27 February 2017 (UTC)
