Qaaf is for two queens.
Qaaf is a deep, round pond. Two queens (the two dots) are sitting right above the water, wearing their crowns.
Sound: a deep k from the very back of the throat.
Looks like: ف Faa. Look at the dots to tell them apart!
Arabic letters hold hands like a train. Start reading at the engine on the right, then walk back along the train. The letter changes its look in each spot.
