1. Shadda

   Shaddah (Arabic: شَدّة shaddah [ˈʃæd.dæ], "[sign of] emphasis", also called by the verbal noun from the same root, tashdid تشديد tashdīd "emphasis") is one of the diacritics used with the Arabic alphabet, indicating a geminated consonant. It is functionally equivalent to writing a consonant twice in the orthographies of languages like Latin, Italian, Swedish, and Ancient Greek, and is thus rendered in Latin script in most schemes of Arabic transliteration, e.g. رُمّان = rummān 'pomegranates'.

1. Shadda

   Shaddah, is one of the diacritics used with the Arabic alphabet, marking a long consonant. It is functionally equivalent to writing a consonant twice in the orthographies of languages like Latin, Italian, Swedish, and Ancient Greek, and is thus rendered in Latin script in most schemes of Arabic transliteration, e.g. رُمَّان = rummān 'pomegranates'. In shape, it is a small letter س sin, standing for shaddah. It was devised for poetry by al-Khalil ibn Ahmad in the eighth century, replacing an earlier dot. When a shadda is used on a consonant which also takes a fatḥah, it is written above the shaddah, while if it had a kasrah, the kasrah is written between the consonant and the shaddah, under the shaddah, rather than in its normal place. Consonant length in Arabic is contrastive: دَرَسَ darasa means 'he studied' while دَرَّسَ darrasa means 'he taught'; بَكى صَبِي bakā ṣabī means 'a youth cried' while بَكّى الصَّبِي bakkā ṣabī means 'a youth was made to cry'. A consonant may be long because of the form of the noun or verb; e.g., the causative form of the verb requires the 2nd consonant of the root to be long, as in darrasa above, or by assimilation of consonants, for example the l- of the Arabic definite article al- assimilates to all dental consonants, e.g. ṣ-ṣabī instead of l-ṣabī, or through haplology; that is, the elision of two identical consonants, for example أَقَلّ aqall 'less, fewer', as compared to أَكْبَر akbar 'greater'.
