Well, lām ( ل ) has number of functions and positions in a word. Some of which that come to mind right now are the following: 1- In the beginning of a word, it can have two functions: - as part of the definite article "the", when combined with alif: "الا" / "ال" = "الانسان" (The human) "الرجل"" (The man) - as a regular letter: "لعب" (play) 2- In the middle: "سلم" (ladder) 3-In the end: "ليل" (night) Note: With alif (أ) at the beginning, it functions as a definite article (ال/الا), but when it's like this "لا" (combined with one alif) it doesn't; it just functions as a regular part of the word. "لا" (No), ''لاعب'' (player), ''سلام"" (peace), "مهلا" (wait) .
