More about Noh

Noh is nine. The memory hook gives you a way to keep it apart from Na, which is no: listen for the o. Nine of a thing is noh ta chai, as in Salam! Noh ta chai, lotfan. It is taught in Module 3, lesson 6, in the lesson called Nine, ten, with Dah. In the count it sits between hasht and dah. Na and Noh both start with n, but Na is taught in Module 1 and Noh in Module 3, so you meet them far apart.
