The Trap: Single-syllable words like "الأخير" carry primary acoustic prominence in isolation, but can be swallowed in rapid connected speech.

🔗 Consonant-Vowel Linking (Liaison)

When "الأخير" is followed by a word starting with a vowel, glide the final consonant into the opening vowel (e.g. "الأخير is" sounds like "الأخير-iz").

⏱️ Stress-Timed Rhythm

In natural sentences, avoid over-stressing "الأخير" unless it conveys the core contrast or focal point of your message.
