ث

ث / ث / ث / ث

ث / ث / ث / ث • (ṯāʔ)

Derived from ت (t), and originally written as such (in rasm) by analogy with Nabatean tradition, as Nabatean cognates of Arabic words with /θ/ were indiscriminately spelled using 𐢞 (t).

ض

ض / ض / ض / ض

ض / ض / ض / ض • (ḍād)

It is hypothesized that the original pronunciation of the letter was a pharyngealised lateral fricative /ɮˤ/. The sound that was represented the letter ḍād in the Arabic alphabet when it was introduced is somewhat uncertain, most likely being introduced on late 7th to early 8th centuries. Early on, its sound was merged with ظ (ẓ) /ðˤ/, a merger that is reflected in all colloquial dialects. In dialects with stopping of dental fricatives, both were then shifted further to /dˤ/. When the ability to produce the sound /ɮˤ/ waned some time after its loss from actual speech, the Quran readers reassigned the stop /dˤ/ to ض (ḍ) in order to maintain its distinction from ظ (ẓ).

The fifteenth letter of the Arabic alphabet. It is preceded by ص (ṣ) and followed by ط (ṭ).


ظ

The association of "tooth" with this letter was the result of folk etymology and based on the corresponding Phoenician letter, 𐤔 (š), having a shape resembling a tooth. The letter originally depicted a composite bow, which usually has the tips curving away from the archer when unstrung.

د

دَال دال#Arabic

The eighth letter of the Arabic alphabet. Its name is دَال (dāl), and is preceded by خ (ḵ) and followed by ذ (ḏ).


س

س / س / س / س

From Nabataean 𐢝 (š), from Classical Syriac ܫ (š), from Aramaic ש (š), from Imperial Aramaic 𐡔 (š), from the Egyptian 𓌒.
Further information
This letter stood for /ʃ/ in Aramaic. 𐢖 was not adopted into the Arabic alphabet because of the following considerations:
Proto-Semitic has three fricatives that became sibilants in descendant languages: ś, š, s. In Arabic ś gave /ʃ/, but š and s merged to /s/. In Old Aramaic all three sibilants were distinguished, and s was represented by 𐢖 / ס / 𐡎 while 𐢝 / ש / 𐡔 represented both ś and š. This orthography persisted in later Aramaic even to the time of the Nabataeans, when the pronunciation of ś merged with that of s /s/.
So when a scribe wanted to write the Arabic sound /ʃ/ from ś, he did so by using 𐢝 / س purposefully in order to stick to a letter form that looks the same in the cognate Aramaic words. But when he wanted to write an Arabic sound /s/ from Proto-Semitic š, he would defy the Aramaic spelling for this Proto-Semitic phoneme were he to represent this Arabic phoneme by the sign 𐢖 / ס / 𐡎, whereas Arabic-Aramaic word pairs with the Proto-Semitic s are – somewhat by coincidence – rare and there was hence only negligible pressure to employ 𐢖 / ܣ / ס / 𐡎, in total. So the impression was that 𐢝 / ש / 𐡔 / س is the most typical sign to write /s/ while the other possible sign fell out of use.
