MN: I know buddy, but trying not to complicate the things and make it easy to learn.
if someone asked u "how to spell the word (the)" then u will answer "ZA" so what I am trying to do here is just giving hints to learn the main words.
on the other hand, if an arabic person will hear non-arabic speaker telling the word "zarf" -in whatever pronunciation- he will realize the meaning wanted from it.
