[Classical] ذ ẕāl , called ذال معجمه is the ninth letter of the Arabic alphabet, and the eleventh of the Persian. Its existence is very doubtful, unless it be considered a substitute for د . It is the fourteenth letter of the Puś̱ẖto alphabet, but merely with regard to those Arabic words used in Puś̱ẖto beginning with that letter. It stands for 700 in denoting numbers by letters in the former language, and is also written as an abbreviation for the month, ذوالحجه[classical]
