• Technically it is the natural occurrence of a whistle like sound emitted while pronouncing the letters.
• The following letters contain this quality: ( س ص ز)

Note: This sound is not a forced sound, but one that should come out naturally with the letters.
Some may have difficulty producing this characteristic if they have a large over bite of the teeth. This can be overcome if the lower jaw is protruded so that the upper and lower teeth align.
Another reason for the incorrect muting of this characteristic is if the tip of the tongue is pressed up with force on the plates of the teeth.
If a small space remains between the tongue and the plates, the whistle can be emitting easily. sound of whistle strong in س ز ، ص than more The arrangement according to the strength of whistle ص ز س.

made so the sound can escape out the mouth as in (rakhawa) and trillilng التكرار is therefore avoided, The tip of tongue is somewhat cupped for this small space to occur in the middle of the tip.
