Alternative forms

• kasrah

Etymology

Borrowed from Arabic ???????? (kasra, “a breaking”), instance noun of the verb ??????? (kasara, “to break”).

Noun

kasra (plural kasras)

1. In Arabic script, the vowel point for "i", appearing as a small diagonal line placed below a letter (????) and designating a short i /i/. If the Arabic letter ?? (y??) immediately follows, it indicates a long ? /i?/.
2. In a fully vocalised Persian ??? represents the vowel /e/ and is only used in front of ??? to represent a diphthong, so unmarked ??? is /di/ but ???? with the diacritic is /dej/. This usage is different from Arabic.
