Abjad Numz

[|Abjad order] The Abjad order of the [|Arabic alphabet] has two slightly different variants. The Abjad order is not a simple historical continuation of the earlier north Semitic alphabetic order, since it has a position corresponding to the Aramaic letter // [|sameḵ] /semkat// ס, yet no letter of the Arabic alphabet historically derives from that letter. Loss of // sameḵ // was compensated for by the split of [|//šin//] ש into two independent Arabic letters, ش (// šīn //) and ﺱ (// sīn //) which moved up to take the place of // sameḵ //. The most common Abjad sequence, read from right to left, is: أ ب ج د ه‍ و ز ح ط ي ك ل م ن س ع ف ص ق ر ش ت ث خ ذ ض ظ غ ʾ b j d h w z ḥ ṭ y k l m n s ʿ f ṣ q r š t ṯ ḫ ḏ ḍ ẓ ġ This is commonly vocalized as follows: Another vocalization is: Another Abjad sequence (probably older, now mainly confined to the Maghreb), is:[|[][|1][|]] أ ب ج د ه‍ و ز ح ط ي ك ل م ن ص ع ف ض ق ر س ت ث خ ذ ظ غ ش ʾ b j d h w z ḥ ṭ y k l m n ṣ ʿ f ḍ q r s t ṯ ḫ ḏ ẓ ġ š which can be vocalized as:
 * ʾabjad hawwaz ḥuṭṭī kalaman saʿfaṣ qarašat ṯaḫaḏ ḍaẓaġ.
 * ʾabujadin hawazin ḥuṭiya kalman saʿfaṣ qurišat ṯaḫuḏ ḍaẓuġ
 * ʾabujadin hawazin ḥuṭiya kalman ṣaʿfaḍ qurisat ṯaḫuḏ ẓaġuš
