   • 2011, Mahmoud Gaafar, Jane Wightwick, Easy Arabic Reader, page 32:

     مَثَلاً، عِنْدَنَا فِي كَالِيفُورْنِيَا لَوْ كَانَ دُكَّان يَبِيع مَضَارِب التِّنِس، فَإِنَّ جَارَهُ لَنْ يَبِيع مَضَارِب التِّنِس أَيْضًا.

     maṯalan, ʕindanā fī kālīfūrniyā law kāna dukkān yabīʕ maḍārib at-tinis, faʔinna jārahu lan yabīʕ maḍārib at-tinis ʔayḍan.

     For example, in California, if it were a shop selling tennis rackets, its neighbour would not sell tennis rackets either.
