Letter N in Farsi- ن
This shape of the letter N looks like a hook, doesn’t it? It can take the final and isolated positions in Farsi words, it can join the letter before it but never attaches to any letter after it. Consider the base line and put your pen a little bit above it then draw a small straight line to cut the base line and move downwards. Then move your pen to the left side to draw a semicircle and slightly guide your pen upwards to cut the base line.
That’s it, you did the right thing. This shape of the letter N comes in the following words and you can see how it attaches to the letter before or takes the final position:
- نان which means bread
- نادان which means stupid
- ناخن which means nail
- دندان which means tooth
