(صلي) (sili) - The Good Stop is the one in which continuing and stopping are permissible; and yet continuing is desirable. It is called a good stop because it gives a preferable effect. (قلى) (Qili) - The Sufficient Stop is the one in which continuing or stopping is permissible; yet making a stop is preferable. It is called sufficient, because it can stand by itself, independently of what follows, because it is not connected with it in words. (ج) (jim) - The Equality Stop is the one in which continuing and stopping are equally relevant. (لا) (Lam - Alif) - The Prohibited Stop is the stop made at an incomplete utterance which does not give the required meaning, because it is strongly connected with what follows in terms of words and meaning. This kind of stop is prohibited.
