    • Sibawayh ((Can we date this quote?)) “باب عدد الحروف العربية ومخارجها ومهموسها ومجهورها وأحوال مهموسها ومجهورها واختلافها”, in Al-Kitab
      وَمِنَ الْحُرُوفِ الشَّدِيدُ، وَهُوَ الَّذِي يَمْنَعُ الصَّوْتَ أَنْ يَجْرِيَ فِيهِ، وَهُوَ الْهَمْزَةُ والْقَافُ وَالكَافُ وَالْجِيمُ وَالطَّاءُ وَالتَّاء وَالدَّالُ وَالْبَاءُ. وَذَلِكَ أَنَّكَ لَوْ قُلْتَ “أَلْحَجْ” ثُمَّ مَدَدْتَ صَوْتَكَ لَمْ يَجْرِ ذَلِكَ.
