Arabic

Letter

آ • (ʾalif madda)

  1. Alif maddah. A double-alif used to write the sequence /ʔaː/.

Etymology

أَ‎ (ʾa) +‎ الْ‎ (al-)

Particle

آ • (ʾā-)

  1. A form of the initial interrogative particle that indicates a yes-or-no question. As it is written together with the following word, when this word begins with /ا‎/ they are orthographically morphed together and written with a مَدَّة‎ (madda) diacritic instead of maintaining both.
    • 609–632 CE, Qur'an, 10:59:
      ‏قُلۡ أَرَءَيۡتُم مَّآ أَنزَلَ ٱللَّٰهُ لَكُم مِّن رِّزۡقࣲ فَجَعَلۡتُم مِّنۡهُ حَرَامࣰا وَحَلَـٰلࣰا قُلۡ ءَآللَّهُ أَذِنَ لَكُمۡ ۖ أَمۡ عَلَى ٱللَّٰهِ تَفۡتَرُونَ‎
      qul ʾa-raʾaytum mā ʾanzala l-lahu lakum min rizqin fa-jaʿaltum minhu ḥarāman wa-ḥalālan qul ʾāllāhu ʾaḏina lakum ʾam ʿalā llāhi taftarūna
