Lesson 1d - ayin, a (arm)
The fifth uni-literal hieroglyph is called ayin.
It depicts a forearm.
It is equivalent to the Hebrew and Arabic consonant called ayin, a gutteral sound pronounced deep in the throat.
For convenience, it may be pronounced like the a in "father."
The transliteration is a.
In Manuel de Codage, type a small a to represent this sign.
