Kha : خ is for the giver of life, the creator, one will notice the position of the dot in Jeem is in the middles of it as if to indicate to the leader or the center of a group, in the Kha the dot is on top of the character is if to indicate the giver of life from above.
Dal : د stand for proof, a tangible proof or evidence in Arabic the word is Dalil.
Dhal : ذ stands for remembrance, which is also relevant to Dalil or evidence.
