This is a general region, which has two specific points of articulation. And has 2 sub-categories :

1. When one lip is used: ف The edge of the upper front teeth meet the in side lower lip (the wet part) ( افْ )

2. When two lips are used: ( ب م و ):

( ب ) Pronounced by pressing the lips together firmly and quickly. Similar to the letter but there is more of a bounce as you press the lips then quickly release them again (ابْ)

( م ) Pronounced by the meeting of the dry outer parts of the lips, and pushing air through the nasal passage (امْ)

(و) This is not the ( و ) of elongation from the jawf. This letter wi ll carry a harakaat. It is pronounced by the incomplete joining of both lips (او)

The length of Ghunnah differ according to the rule applied of Noon or Meem.
