(partial) Assimilation
Two words from 2:8 according to five orthographic standards, all Ḥafṣ, all pronounced the same.
The top one (King Fuʾād Edition) and the bottom one (Ṭabʿo Našr, Iran) look similar, but are radically different -- because the Centre for Print and Distribution abolished the sukūn-sign: so in the bottom the nūn has an (unwritten) sukūn and the qāf has an unwritten long /ū/
-- just has the Turkish line just above).
In the top line the nūn has no sukūn, which means in that orthography: do not pronounce as /n/, but say /mai/.
The same phenomenon (partial assimilation) is written in Hind/Hindustan/India+Pakistan+BanglaDesh (third from below) and
Standar Indonesia (2.-4. line)
by sukūn above the nūn (which means according to that orthography: NOT silent) plus šadda above the yāʾ (hence prounced at the end of the first AND the beginning of the second word: mai yaqūl).
In Turkey
and Iran (complete and partial) assimilation is not written.
