why is it muaalim and not muaalam, since the vowel sign is above the L (meaning a?) and not below it (meaning i?)

Thank you for your answers, Michelle and Fehrerdef. On my screen, the harakah is below the reduplication sign but above the letter L. Does that count as an "i" because it's beneath the reduplication sign? So if there's a reduplication sign, the harakah must be above it to signify "a"?

If you are using Google keyboard on Android, long press on period key, and it will display a bunch of symbols such as ُ َ َٓ . Of course you first need to install the Arabic keyboard.

etymological. But, yes, it was that false etymology that helped me remember the Arabic for "teacher". We have to grasp at anything, don't we!
