[ ب ] Following Sakin [ م ]

If a Sakin [ م ] is followed by the letter [ ب ] in the following word, the pronunciation of [ م ] is suppressed with Ghunnah and the sound moves ýtoward [ ب ] .

This case is identified as Ikhfa" Shafawi [Labial Suppressed Pronunciation], because both [ ب ] and [ م ] are produced from theý lips.

Listen to the examples for more practice.
