Dear Sirs,

i'd like to ask you about the rules to write hamzahs.

CASE 1)
For example, "i did not read the letter." means "lam 'aqra'i r- 
risaalah." in
Arabic.
How do you write this Arabic sentence?

"i did not read" is "lam 'aqra'," which is written as لم أقرأ.
The last hamzah is written ON a 'alif.

"lam 'aqra'i r-risaalah," however, the vowel "i" is added to the last  
hamzah
of أقرأ .
In this case, do we have to write the hamzah UNDER the 'alif?
like لم أقرإ الرسالة ???????

CASE 2)
"i (shall) read" means "'aqra'u" in Arabic and it is written as  
أقرأ.
"i (shall) read it(f.sg.)" means "'aqra'u-haa" but how do you write this
sentence?

i thought that i may write it as أقرأها ,
though i have found one of the Arabic Language Learner's books
in which "'aqra'u-haa" is written as أقرؤها , a hamzah on Waaw.

Please teach me how to write hamzahs.
Thanks a lot in advance.

Haruko
