No explanations are available for this result.
- Contextual readingHere گل is read gol, “flower,” because it blooms in spring; the same spelling can also be read gel, “mud.”
- EzafeThe connecting e sounds in گُلِ زیبایِ باغِ قَدیمی link “flower” to “beautiful,” then the phrase to “garden,” and “garden” to “old.” Persian normally speaks these links without writing them.
- Short vowelقَدیمی begins with the short a sound, so zabar is added above ق. The long i sounds are already represented by ی and do not need extra marks.
- Sentence readingThe marks in دَر، بَهار، and شِکُفت restore short vowels that fluent readers infer from the words and sentence context.
