''J'' and ''dh'' may occur in coda in a loanwords, although they are usually replaced with ''sh'' and ''r'' respectively. For example, ''xaj'' "Hajj", ''ogsaydh'' "oxide". Coda ''t'', ''k'', and ''m'' may also occur in non-native words, mostly of Arabic origin. In many cases, variants with the expected ''d'', ''g'', or ''n'' exist (but this applies less often for word-internal ''m''). For example, ''xikmad'' "wisdom" (also ''xigmad''), ''fitno'' "trial, temptation" (also ''fidno''), ''muslim'' "Muslim" (also ''muslin''), ''amni'' "safety, security" (NOT ''*anni''). | ''J'' and ''dh'' may occur in coda in a loanwords, although they are usually replaced with ''sh'' and ''r'' respectively.
