Definition
noun
- A sign (Ψ‘β - a stand-alone hamza) used in the written Arabic language representing a glottal stop. Hamza may appear as a stand-alone letter or most commonly diacritically over or under other letters, e.g. Ψ£β (over an alif - Ψ§β), Ψ₯β (under an alif), Ψ€β (over a wΔw - Ωβ) or Ψ¦β (over a dotless yΔΚΎ - Ωβ). The exact seat of hamza is governed by an orthographic rule - "seat of hamza rule".
