In case you ever were confused as to why you see 3's or 7's used in transcribed Arabic to Roman letters, here is a little guide to those numbers inserted in Arabic words:
2 (ء) hamza (a'a)
3 (ع) ein (a)
3' (غ) gheen (gh)
5 (خ) kha (kh)
6 (ط) ta'a (t)
7 (ح) ha'a (h)
7' (خ) kha (kh)
9 (ص) saad (s)
9' (ض) daad (d)
Below are a few examples:
Keef 7aalak?
How are you?
Maadha ta3mal?
What are you doing?
