Recipe Details
Evidence
"Fig. 94: The word “jannatun” pointed by means of slanted strokes and vocalized by means of red dots (RBD AC194 – detail)"
Remarks
The diacritical pointing in early Qur'anic fragments was often executed in the same ink as the main shapes of the letterforms but could have been added later (p. 144). In this specific Hijazi fragment, vocalization is distinctly executed with red dots as a system for phonological guidance (p. 144).
