I used the blue font sometimes in transliteration to distinguish between
the female and male gender, which is not that different from the
masculine form, just an extra “i” or “a” …
The tick (‘) is for a sound like soundless “a” or a stop just to make
closer to the real sound which doesn’t exist in English.
The “th” is sometimes pronounced as “th of that” and sometimes
as “th of think”, I usually state how you should pronounce it.
There is a sharp “h” that is different from the regular “h”,
however a person can be understood even if it’s pronounced
as a regular “h”.
