Ya is the most general of the letters, used for the near, the far, and the intermediate; 'Aya' and 'Haya' are for the far, and 'Ay' and the Hamza are for the near.

That 'Aya' and 'Haya' are for the distant, or one who is like them, such as someone asleep or inattentive. And if one calls by these three letters other than the distant, asleep, or inattentive, it is out of the caller's eagerness for the one being called to pay attention.
