Just from the little reading I have done, these appear to be the endings in Classical Arabic, but I too would love for a native speaker (if MSA has such things) would let us know when those endings are pronounced.

Big relates to size/dimension. Spacious relates to how much free space is in the room versus how crowded it is. In other words if a very large room was crammed full of junk so you could barely turn around without bumping something, I wouldn't refer to it as spacious.

Apparently you have misunderstood me. I know how to distinguish letters by means of a dot. I never, for instance, have any problem distinguishing between i and ı in Duolingo Turkish, but those letters are much, much larger. Here, moreover, the R carries a hollow dot to indicate it is not followed by a vowel, but to distinguish a hollow from a filled dot is impossible for me with letters this small, even while wearing reading glasses. It is unfortunate that the font chosen is so very very tiny.

Yes. It's a real pain in the derriere. It's a real design flaw and shows whoever is maintaining it doesn't care. It's not the first post I've read about this. No response from admins
At the end of the word Gurfa the last letter has those 2 dots on top that last letter with the 2 dots on top is a letter T . In the middle of a sentence you'd make the T sound BUT if that letter with the 2 dots on top ( T sound) was the very last letter of a sentence then it gets turned into a "h" sound. I'm not an arab speaker but I know this stuff.
