What ٞ means
It marks Gawri's front open vowel.
An open vowel is made with the mouth open; this one uses the front of the mouth, while ordinary zabar marks its back counterpart. A Gawri spelling committee formed in 1995, adapting the Arabic-derived spelling conventions used in Urdu so Gawri's distinct sounds could be written.
