Connections

RAY is a breaker: no letter can be connected after it. Thus RAY has only two forms: a detached and a final form:

When RAY appears at the beginning of a word, it will be in its detached form.	روحی	roohi
When RAY appears after another breaker, it will be in its detached form.	درد	dard
When RAY appears after a non-breaker, it will be in its final form.	سردی	sardī

Note that final DĀL looks a lot like detached RAY. But you won’t confuse the two because final DĀL is always connected to the preceding letter, and detached RAY is never connected to the preceding letter. Also, final RAY looks very different from detached RAY. This is true for all members of the DĀL and RAY families.
