3x Būlāq

Here the start of ǧuzʾ ʿamma 3x from the Būlāq Government Press: from 1299/1881, from 1329/1911, and 1342/1924. In the first line after the basmala I added the kasras a second time both higher and more to the right. In the second line from 1299/1881 I left them as they were: too low and to far to the left ‒ I think the upper signs (fatḥa, ḍamma) are too far to the left as well. Two additinal remarks on the early prints: lengthening of pronouns (-hī, -hū) is left unnoticed (typical for Ottoman)

/al-ǧawār/ (81:16) gets the Asian vowel sign, the dagger (in brackets), and the African one (fatḥa lengthened by the following alif) ‒ ‒ waṣla is sometimes used, sometimes not.
