Raa is a fast slide.
These are slippery slides at the park. Raa is a fast slide, with no dots. Wheee!
Sound: a rolled r, like a purring cat.
Looks like: ز Zay. Look at the dots to tell them apart!
Raa is one of the six grumpy cabooses (ا د ذ ر ز و). It never holds hands with the letter after it, so the next letter starts again like a new engine.
