peer agreement (net): +4ALIF WA BA: BUBAYA, etc. Explanation: There is nothing to translate here. This is a letter-sound drill for children learning the alphabet and how to sound out letter combinations. It is intentionally devoid of translatable content. The reader needs to get a sense of the intent of the drill, as well as its rhyming quality. The only way to do that is to transliterate it. My daughter went through a similar thing in English: A for apple, Aa-aa-aa B for bunny, ba-ba-ba C for cat, ca-ca-ca, etc. It may be tempting to substitute an English-language equivalent rhyme, but I would strongly vote against that. It would be a misrepresentation. Fuad |
