     Tâ marbûta

One letter which you will encounter rather frequently is the tâ marbûta

(ة, not to be confused with ه).

This letter always occurs in final position and has two forms:

ـة        ة  

Sometimes two letters combine (and form a ligature) to be written in a prettier or more convenient manner. When lam ( ل ) is followed by alif    ( ا ), it generally forms the lam-alif ligature

( لا )
