I used the blue font sometimes in transliteration to distinguish between the female and male gender, which is not that different from the masculine form, just an extra i or a The tick () is for a sound like soundless a or a stop just to make closer to the real sound which doesnt exist in English.

The th is sometimes pronounced as th of that and sometimes as th of think, I usually state how you should pronounce it. There is a sharp h that is different from the regular h, however a person can be understood even if its pronounced as a regular h.
