Introduction

Arabic Morphology ( P
P P
PB0) is a branch of Arabic
Grammar dealing with word-forms and patterns. It is
highly essential for the incumbent student of Arabic to
learn this science in order to be proficient in the language.
Acquiring an understanding of word patterns is of prime
importance in learning the language.

This is a comprehensive book dealing with all the


important aspects of the subject. If a student has to study
this book thoroughly, he would develop a very good
foundation in this science and it would absolve him of the
need to study any further books on the subject.

The Arabic names of morphologic terms have been


adopted instead of the Urdu forms commonly found in the
text books of Islamic seminaries. Thus I have used the
term ( FBQ G0) instead of ( PFB GP0). Similarly, instead
of writing (RPP), the correct Arabic form of ( P )
has been used while the term (P P) is used instead of
(P
P) which is incorrect. This will enable the student to
learn the correct Arabic terms from the initial stages of his
learning.

Included also is a collection of rules of word-changes


which affect many Arabic verbs and nouns. The rules have
been clearly explained with examples and a step by step

Page 10 - http://www.al-inaam.com/

method as to how a word is changed from its original form


to its present one.

It is hoped that this book will be beneficial for the students


of Arabic Grammar and Morphology and simplify the path
to understanding the intricacies of the language. Āmīn.

For a detailed discussion on the name of this subject,


whether it is called Morphology or Etymology, refer to
Appendix A at the end of this book.

Some Useful Terms

Conjugation: A paradigm, class, or table of verb forms in


such inflected languages as Latin and French, where
elements are distinguished from each other by patterns of
inflection relating to tense, person, number.1

Declension: A term used to describe the case system of


nouns and other words.2

Inflection: The variation or change of form that words


undergo to mark distinctions of case, gender, number,
tense, person, mood, voice, comparison.3

Linguistics and Philology: The study of language.

Paradigm: pronounced (pa-ra-dime), in grammar, a set of


all the (especially inflected) forms of a word (write, writes,
wrote, writing, written), especially when used as a model
for all other words of the same type.4

Arabic Terms

The following are some of the Arabic terms used


frequently in this book. It would be advisable to learn
them thoroughly as they are frequently used throughout
the book.

Term Meaning
 A diacritical point SP denoting the sound
of ‘a’.
 A diacritical point - TP denoting the sound
of ‘u’.

A diacritical point - UP denoting the sound
of ‘i’.
 A diacritical point - VP that serves the

 purpose of joining

The Second Category of Verbs

With regard to the root letters ( B". c) of a verb, they


are of two types:

Term Meaning Example


9:9 3 root letters or
triliteral
W 
W #W
0  4 root letters or
quadriliteral
W H^[ W
Each of these two types is further divided into two categories:
(1) (78) – the () consists of root letters only, without
any extra letters.
(2) (;< =>?) - the () has root letters plus extra letters.
This results in the following four categories:

Term Meaning Example


78 9:9 3 root letters only
W 
W #W
;< =>? 9:9 3 root letters plus extra
letters

Types of Nouns

(1) There are three types of nouns - (,-):

[a] = , [b] g*+ and [c] =$ .

(2) The (=P – verbal noun) is a word that indicates the

occurrence of an action and is free of tense e.g. (X P[h^) –


to assist.
(3) The (g*P+) is a word derived from a verb e.g. (` PU"W#) –

helper is derived from (W 


W #W).
(4) The (=P
P$) is neither a (=P
P) nor a (g*P+) e.g.
(/
a $X W ) – man.

(5) The (=PP) and the (g*PP+) also fall under the

categories of (9:9), (0P ), (7P8) and (;P< =P>?) like


the (/P
P<). The categories mentioned under the verb like
(]i") etc. also apply to an (2).

(6) The noun (=P


P$) with regard to its letters can either
have three root letters (triliteral), four root letters
(quadriliteral) or five root letters (quinquiliteral). It is
therefore of six types:
[1] (78 9:9) e.g. (/a $X W ) – a man
[2] (;< =>? 9:9) e.g. (` WF U ) – a donkey

Page 18 - http://www.al-inaam.com/
Madrassah Inaamiyyah Camperdown
From the Treasures of Arabic Morphology

[3] (78 0 ) e.g. (6


` W )b 0W ) – scorpion
[4] (;< =>? 0 ) e.g. (\ ` ^j[ KU) - paper
[5] (78 2k) e.g. (/ a $W [ 1^ 2W ) - quince
[6] (;< =>? 2k) e.g. (N ` [ !XQ^ [0W ) – a
spider

(7) The scholars of morphology generally deal with the


(/P<) because most of the changes (N1>PA) occur in a

(/P<) while few changes occur in an (P2) and none occur

in a ( ).

Page 19 - http://www.al-inaam.com/
Madrassah Inaamiyyah Camperdown
From the Treasures of Arabic Morphology

The Scales of Verbs

The Arabic verb is constructed from a root which usually


consists of three letters called consonants or radicals.
These consonants form a kind of skeleton which
constitutes the verb-stem to which prefixes and suffixes
may be added.

Arabic verbs are mostly triliteral, that is, they are


constructed of three root letters. The simplest form of the
verb is the third person masculine singular of the perfect
tense (P /P1 P dPIl mP =P). In most
dictionaries, all the words derived from a triliteral root are
entered under the third person masculine singular form of
the verb.

In Arabic, there are two main tenses, the perfect or past


tense (P
P), denoting actions completed at the time to
which reference is made; and the imperfect (P
P), for
incompleted actions, referring to the present or future
tenses. The present and future tenses are thus expressed by
the imperfect form (P). The imperative (P.) may
be considered a modification of the imperfect.

To indicate patterns or type-forms of verbs, the


grammarians use the three letters of the verb (/
^ PW <^), where
the ( ) represents the first radical of the verb, the ()

represents the second radical of the verb and the ()


represents the third radical of the verb. This is the scale

Page 20 - http://www.al-inaam.com/
Madrassah Inaamiyyah Camperdown
From the Treasures of Arabic Morphology

('W?P[U ) or standard by which the root letters of a verb are

determined. Accordingly, the word (d


W P
PW*^ ) is on the scale
of (/
^ W <^), (d
X PX*Qb W>) is on the scale of (/D PX1b W>) and (d
[ PX*b (D)
is on the scale of (/
b X <b (D).

The letter that corresponds to the ( ) of the ('?P


P) is
called the (ِ PWFBUQ
^ b ,T P^<), that which corresponds to the () is
called the (ِ P FW BUQ^ b X [P 0W ) while the letter corresponding to
the () is called the (ِ F W BUQ^ b %X &^ ).
Example: the word (d W *W^ ) is on the scale of (/^ W <^):

Exercise 2

(1) Determine the scales of the following verbs and what


each letter represents. The first one has been done for you.

(a) (W 
W #W)
C 8 5

(d) (6X U  [ #W)
(e) (/D W o

(g) (dX Ui [ W>)
(h) (dX pW mb W>)
(i) (^ q^2W )
(j) (rW W 2W )

Madrassah Inaamiyyah Camperdown
From the Treasures of Arabic Morphology

The Categories of Triliteral Verbs

(F G! 6@;H ! )!*+)
(1) The first and third letters of a simple triliteral verb in
the active tense is always vowelled with a fathah ( PPi*<).
The second letter or radical may be vowelled by a ( Pi*<),

( F) or (sP ). The active perfect tense ( P /P1

P) of triliteral verbs (7P8 P9:9) is used on three


scales:
[a] /
^ W <^ e.g. (]W *W<^)
[b] /
^ U <^ e.g. (OW FU 2W )
[c] /
^ X <^ e.g. (%W X ^ )
(2) The conjugation of the (/
^ PU<^) and (/^ PX<^) forms is similar
to the conjugation of (/
^ W <^).
(3) The imperfect tense ( P
P PP) of (/^ P PW<^) is
sometimes (/ D PW1b W>) e.g. (]X *WPb1W> ]W *WP^<) and sometimes (/D PX1b W>)
e.g. (X PX[ W> W PW#W) and sometimes (/ D PU1b W>) e.g. ( 6 W W PW
6
X U 
[ W>).
(4) The conjugation of the (/ D PX1b W>) and (/D PU1b W>) is similar to
the conjugation of (/ D W 1b W>).

Page 23 - http://www.al-inaam.com/
Madrassah Inaamiyyah Camperdown
From the Treasures of Arabic Morphology

(5) The ( P ) of (/^ PU<^) is sometimes (/D PW1b W>) e.g.
(OX FW [ W> OW FU 2W ) and sometimes (/D U 1b W>) e.g. (dX Ui[ W> d W U W ).
(6) The ( P P) of (/ ^ PX<^) is only (/D PX1b W>) e.g.
(%X X Q
b W> %W X ^ ).
(7) The ( ) of all three scales is (/ ^ U <D).
(8) The (8 ) of all three scales is (/ D W 1b X>).
(9) Based on the above-mentioned facts, there are six
categories (6 () of (78 9:9) which are as follows:
(X X [W> W W #W)(1)
(6
X U 
[ W> 6 W W  W ) (2)
(]X *W1b W> ]W *W<^) (3)
(O
X FW [ W> OW FU 2W ) (4)
(%X X Q
b W> %W X ^ ) (5)
(d
X Ui [ W> d W U W ) (6)
(10) There is no rule to specify which verb belongs to
which category (6P
P ). It is based on (P
P-) – as heard
from the Arabs. One can also ascertain which
category a verb belongs to from a dictionary. There are
however certain guidelines which are as follows:
[a] If the verb belongs to the category of ( ]W *WPP^<

Page 24 - http://www.al-inaam.com/
Madrassah Inaamiyyah Camperdown
From the Treasures of Arabic Morphology

]X *WPb1W>) the second or third letter will be from the ( P


)B)5, e.g. (d X pW mb W> d W pW v^ ), (D q^
[ W> ^ q^2W ), (OX FW o
[ W> OW FW $W ).
[b] If the perfect (P P /PP1) is of the form
(/
^ PU<^), the imperfect (P /P1) is generally from the
category of (O X FW
[ W> OW FU 2W ).
[c] If the perfect (P /1) is of the form (/ ^ PX<^),
the imperfect (PP /PP1) is generally from the

category of (%X X Q b W> %W X ^ ).


Exercise 3
To which category (6P
P ) does each of the following verb
belong:
(1) (w
D W ![W> w
^ W W)
(2) (Z
X X *[W> ZW W AW)
(3) (

(5) (r

The Perfect Active Tense (  )


(1) There are 14 word-forms ( 5PP") of the perfect tense

(PP /PP1). All three diacritical points or vowels

(NP) can be used on the ( PFBQ GP0) as is apparent


from the above-mentioned six categories (6 ().

(2) The Arab Grammarians usually begin the Perfect ( /P1


P) and Imperfect (P /P1) conjugations with the
third person (dP
PPIl), followed by the second person
(dj|) and finally the first person (BQ*).

(3) Unlike English, Arabic also has a dual form for the
second and third persons. As for the first person, the plural
form is used for both the dual and plural.

(4) Hereunder follow the paradigms of the perfect tense.

The Perfect Passive ( )

The (P
P PP) is constructed from the ( PP
P) in all triliteral verbs ( 7P8 P9:9). If we take the
first verb, namely the third person singular form, (/
^ P W <^), a
( FP) is rendered to the first letter, a (sP ) is rendered
to the second letter while the third letter remains in its
original condition. The result is (/
^ PU<D). No matter what the
( P
P) of the second letter in the active tense is, in the

passive tense it will always be ( Q). Examples:

Active – (5 4) Passive – (CD)

W 
W #W W 
U #X
OW FU 2W OW FU 2X
%W X ^ %W U D

Note that the intransitive verbs can be used in the passive tense if
they are used with a particle ( ), e.g.

(U;U d
W pU vD ) – It was taken.

The Imperfect ( )


The Imperfect () is formed by adding prefixes and/or
suffixes to the perfect tense. The prefixes can either be any of the
letters (
W [AW(^). The suffixes may either be ('), ('), (>) or just
(').

After adding the prefix, the first radical or letter of the verb has
('Q2), e.g. the ( ) of (/
D W 1b W>) has a sukûn. The second letter
can have any of the three harakât, depending on which category
(6 ) the verb belongs to.

In the indicative case (O< ), the final vowel of the third
radical ( FBQ %&) is ( F) in the singular form of the verb, e.g.
(/
D W 1b W>), (/D W 1b AW), (/D W <b (^) and (/D W 1b #W). For the subjunctive case ( 
d), this ( F) is changed to ( i*<), e.g. (/^ W 1b W>), (/^ W 1b AW),
(/
^ W <b (^) and (/^ W 1b #W); while for the jussive case (%?‹ ), it is
replaced by a ('Q2), e.g. (/ b W 1b W>), (/b W 1b AW), (/b W <b (^) and (/b W 1b #W). The
changes in the singular and dual forms will be discussed later.

P
P) in all triliteral verbs (7P8 P9:9). If we take the

first verb, namely the third person singular form, (/

PP) – sign of the imperfect tense. A ( PPi*<) is

rendered to the ( PFBQ GP0) while the ( PFBQ %&)

remains as it is. The result is (/ D P W 1b X>). No matter what the

occur in one place. This will occur in the following two word-
forms:

'• WBb W 1b W^ P dIl w#~ O} y W Bb W 1b W> (1)


'• WBb W 1b *W^ P  w#~ O} y W Bb W 1b AW (2)

(7) The ( B)9 '#) itself is ( Q) in these two words. In short,

Page 51 - http://www.al-inaam.com/
Madrassah Inaamiyyah Camperdown
From the Treasures of Arabic Morphology

the ( B)9 '#) is ( Q) after (L) and (_*1) in the other
instances.

(8) The ( 11M '#) is similar to the ( B)9 '#) except in the
( HA) and (w#~ O}) word-forms. The ( 11M '#) is only used

in those words where there is no (L) before ( B)9 '#) and


these are eight word-forms.
Once ( B)9 '#) and ( 11M '#) enter a ( /<), its
meaning changes to the future tense.

The Imperative (()

The (P P( – imperative second person) is constructed


from the ( /<) in the following manner:

(1) The (P P:0) – the sign of the imperfect tense -


is deleted.
(2) If the following letter is (ZP
Pi*), the final letter is
rendered (2). Example: the verb (=
X U AW) changes to (=[ 0U ).
(3) If the following letter is (P2), a (/P" s?Pš) is
inserted at the beginning and the end is rendered (2).

(4) If the ( PFBQ G0) has a ( FP), the (/P" s?Pš) is

rendered a ( F). Example: (X  X [AW) becomes ([ 


X #[(D).
(5) If the ( FBQ G0) has a ( Pi*<) or (sP ), the ( s?Pš

/") is rendered a (s ). Examples:


(]
X *W1b AW) becomes (][ *W<b @U).
(6
X U  [ AW) becomes (6 [ U  [ @U).
(6) The (6P0‘ '#) is deleted while the (sP  'P#) –
the nūn of the feminine plural - is retained. Examples:
('
U ^BW 1b AW) becomes (^BW <b @U).
(
W Bb W 1b AW) becomes (W Bb W <b @U).

Page 56 - http://www.al-inaam.com/
Madrassah Inaamiyyah Camperdown
From the Treasures of Arabic Morphology

(7) The ( PPB PP) at the end is deleted. Examples:

(
[ 0X =[ AW) becomes (X 7[ (D).
(
[ U [ AW) becomes (%U [ @U).
(W+€ [ AW) becomes (– W M[ @U).

(8) The imperative of the first and third persons ( PP(


BQ*PP dPPI5) is formed by adding a (%&) at the
beginning of (P /P<). This (%&) has the same effect

on the verbs as (
[ ^).

(9) The (=Pq* %&) and (=Pq* 'P#) can also be attached
to the (() word-forms.

Hereunder follow the paradigms of ( P

imperative active) and (P

THE DERIVED NOUNS ( )*+ ,-.)

The following six nouns are derived from the verb:


1 (4) /1* 2 (3) 1 2 (2) /01 2 (1)
4 2 (6) 3 2 (5) !+

The Active Participle (/01 2)

The active participle (/01 2) indicates the person or being


from whom the action emanates, e.g. (ÒUW2) – a person who
listens.
In 3-root letter verbs (78 9:9), the (/01 2) is formed by
adding an (L) after the first letter, rendering a (s ) to the

second letter and (>A) to the final letter. Thus, (/ ^ W <^) becomes
(/
a 0U ^<). In the dual forms ( HA), (L) and ('#) are attached to
the end, e.g. (' U: ^ 0U ^<). For the feminine form, a round (s) is
inserted at the end. For the masculine plural (m O}), (') is

inserted, e.g. (' ^ [ BD0U ^<), while for the feminine plural (w#~ O}),
the syllable, (N) is attached, e.g. (N ` :
^ 0U ^<). There are three
scales for the masculine form and three for the feminine form of
the word.

m O} '^ [ BD0U ^<
w#~ = a B^0U ^<
w#~ HA 'U W*B^0U ^<
w#~ O} N
` :
^ 0U ^<

In the indicative case (O< ), the ( HA) is used with an (L)
while in the accusative and genative cases (‹ d ), it

is used with a (‰) preceded by a ( i*<). The ('#) of the ( HA) is

( Q), e.g. ('U:


^ 0U ^<) and (U [B^0U ^<).

For the masculine plural in (O< ), a () is used while in


(‹ d ), a (‰) preceded by a (s ) is used. The

('#) of (O}) is (_*1), e.g. ('


^ [ BD0U ^<) and (W [ BU0U ^<).

The Passive Participle (1 2)

The passive participle (1 2) is that entity on which the


action occurs, e.g. (_
` [ *X1b W ) – the thing which is opened. It is
formed by adding a (_*1 %) at the beginning, a () after the

second letter and (>A) at the end. The first root letter (

B"() becomes (2) while the second one becomes (%F).
The additions for the dual and plural forms are the same as the
(/01 2). Like the (/01 2), it also has six word-forms.

The Elative (/1* 2)

The (/1* 2) is a derived noun that indicates the comparative


or superlative degree e.g. (/
DW <b (^) – more virtuous or most
virtuous. The scale of (/
D W <b (^) is used for this purpose, except for
colours and defects. In the case of colours and defects, the scale
of (/
D W <b (^) is used for (
!+ 1) e.g. (X FW [ (^) – red, (›œF0[ (^) –
blind. Tanwīn never enters the end of (/1* 2). The ( 2

/1*) generally renders the meaning of the doer (/0<) but


sometimes it can render the meaning of the object (1), e.g.

(X 
W „[ (^) - more famous.

Hereunder follows the paradigm of the (/1* 2):

The ( !+ 1")

The ( !+ 1") is a derived noun referring to the permanent

quality of an entity, e.g. (/


a [FU $W ) – beautiful. The (/01 2) on
the other hand describes a temporary quality e.g. (ÒUW2) –
listening at the moment. A person will only be referred to as
(6
` U W) if the quality of (6[
W ) emanates from him whereas the
attribute of (/
a [FU $W ) applies to a person all the time.The ( 1"
!+) is always intransitive (%&) even though it may be

constructed from a transitive verb (‰=*). Hence the difference

between (ÒUW2) and (Ò[F


U 2W ) is that (ÒUW2) indicates a being
listening at the moment while (Ò[F
U 2W ) indicates a being which
permanently has the quality of listening even though there may
be no object. Therefore one can say (
W W ^B^ ÒUW2), but to say

W W ^B^
Ò[FU 2W ) is incorrect. The ( !+ 1") has six word-forms
like the (/01 2). For the dual and plural forms, changes are

made to the end as in the (/01 2).

Hereunder follows the paradigm of the ( !+ 1"):

The ( !+ 1") is used on many scales for which there is no


rule. It is based on (-) – as heard from the Arabs. Sometimes

a (), () or (‰) is inserted after the second alphabet, e.g.

(` Wo„X ), (` [ KDW ), (L


` [>U „W ). Sometimes the root-form remains
intact but a change occurs in the harakāt, e.g. (d ` [ "

The Noun of the Instrument ( 3 2)

The Adverb ( 4 2)

The ( 4 2) is a derived noun that indicates the place or


time of the action. If the word indicates the place of the action, it
is called ('Q Š) and if it indicates the time of the action, it
is called ('? Š). It is made by adding a (_*1 %) at the

beginning of the root letters. It has two scales, namely (/ a W 1b W ) and


(/
a U 1b W ). If the () is (G _*1) or (G %F) or
(JK#), the ( 4 2) will be on the scale of (/ a W 1b W ), e.g.
(]
` *W1b W ), (` 
W [W ) and (ƒ[ W ). If the () is (G  Q) or
(H), the ( 4 2) will be on the scale of (/ a U 1b W ), e.g.
(6
` U  [ W ) and (ÒUK[ W ).
The paradigm including the dual and plural forms is as follows:

]` 'KHO =!
/D 0U ^1W 'U :
^ W 1b W /a W 1b W scale

]X AU^1W 'U Wi*W1b W ]` *W1b W example

The ( 4 2) is often constructed from the underived noun


(=$) on the scale of (a B^W 1b W ) to indicate an excess of that object
in that place, e.g.

The Intensive Adjective ( 5! 5")

The ( 5! 5") is a noun that indicates excess in meaning of


the verbal noun e.g. (6
` h
W ) – one who hits a lot. The difference
between ( 5! 5") and (/1* 2) is that in ( 5! 5"),
the excess meaning is limited to itself without taking others into
consideration whereas in the (/1* 2), the excess in
meaning is in comparison to others. Hence (= ¡ Fh i
W X [ U 6
X W 
[ (^) or
(%U 
[ )^ b 6
X W 
[ (^) is in comparison to others while (6 ` h W ) is not in
comparison to anyone.

In the ( 5! 5"), there is no difference in gender. Sometimes


a (s) is added for excess in meaning, e.g. (a W B0 W /a $X W ) – a very
learned man, (a W B0
W sa (^W [ U) - a very learned woman.

When (/
a [U <^) is in the meaning of (/a 0U ^<), or (a [ X <^) is in the
meaning of (
a [ X 1b W ), a differentiation is made between the
masculine and feminine forms. Examples:
(
` [BU0W W pX ) , (a FW [BU0W W pU )
(
a [ FX W /a FW $W ) , (a ^[ FX W a K^W#).

The Categories ( 6 () of Verbs


The (6 () of (78 9:9)

You have already learnt that the verbs of (78 9:9) –three root-
letter verbs – have six categories (6 () – plural of (6 ).

The First (6 ): (X 


X [W> W 
W #W)
(/
D X 1b W>
/^ W <^) – the ( FW BUQ^ b X [0W ) of the () has a ( i*<) while
the () has a ( F), e.g. (X  [ h) – to help. The abbreviated
paradigm7 of this (6 ) is as follows:

W X <^ ƒ
[ #W X W [X> W 
U #XW ` "U W# W X <^ ƒ 
[ #W X  X [W> W  W #W
;X [U X [ 4  [  X [AW &^ ;X [0W X [ hW [

W [U W `  W [U ;X [U D ^£bW `  W [W
‰W [ #X ;X [U w
D #h~W FX bW X 
W #[(^ ;X [U

7
The abbreviated paradigm is where the first ( 5P
P") of each paradigm
of the active and passive tenses is used.

/^ W <^) – the ( FW BUQ^ b X [0W ) of the () has a ( i*<) while
the () has a (s ), eg (6 X [

paradigm of this (6 ) is as follows:

The Third (6 ) : (]

D W 1b W> /^ W <^) – the ( FW BUQ^ b X [0W ) of the () has a ( i*<) while
the () also has a ( i*<), e.g. (] X *[1^ b) – to open. The
condition for this (6 ) is that if the verb is (]i")8, the (  X [0W
FW BUQ^ b) or ( FW BUQ^ b %X &^ ) must be from the ( )B ). This
does not mean that every verb which is (]i") and whose (  X [0W

8
(]iP") is that word which has no ( PB P), two letters of the

same type or (s?š) as its root letter.

FW BUQ^ b) or ( FW BUQ^ b %X &^ ) is from the ( )B ), will be from
(]*< 6 ). The abbreviated paradigm of this (6 ) and the

remaining (6 () is similar to the above-mentioned examples.

The ( 6 () of (;< =>? 9:9)


The Derived Forms of the Triliteral Verb

Arabic is extremely rich and copious in derived forms


which extend or modify the meaning of the root form of
the verb, giving many exact shades of meaning. This is a
common feature of Semitic languages and perhaps it
reaches its pinnacle in Arabic.

Derived forms are made by adding letters before or between the


root letters of the simple verb. Accordingly, (W 
W #W), which is the
root, means to help. From this verb the following verbs are
derived with differing meanings:

Verb Meaning
W "
W W# to support

W 
h WAW to try to help

W "
W WAW to render mutual assistance

W 
W *W#[(U to come to someone’s aid

W 
W [*W2[ (U to ask for assistance

Another example of derived verbs is (/


^ *WK^) which means to kill.
When extra letters are added to this root, the following meanings
are achieved.

Page 91 - http://www.al-inaam.com/
Madrassah Inaamiyyah Camperdown
From the Treasures of Arabic Morphology

Verb Meaning
/^ *hK^ to massacre

/^ AW^K to combat, battle

/^ *W*WKb (U to fight with one another

/^ *W)b *W2[ (U to risk one’s life

Very few verb roots have all the other derived forms. Some have
only one (like – 6
h v^ to drive away) or two (like L
W
W MW – to sink),
while others have four or five as in the above examples. There is
often a good deal of overlapping of meaning between the forms.

Sometimes the root form is not in use while the derived forms
are used, e.g. ( d
W AhW - to arrange).

The (6 () of (;< =>? 9:9) are twelve in total. They are

formed by adding extra letters to the ( /1) of ( 9:9


78). Upto a maximum of three extra letters can be added to a
verb, thus bringing the maximum number of letters of a verb to
six (root letters plus extra letters).

Seven of these (6 () have (/" s?š) at the beginning while


five do not have. Besides (78 9:9), every letter with a ( )

will become (%F) in the ( ) except for the

Page 92 - http://www.al-inaam.com/
Madrassah Inaamiyyah Camperdown
From the Treasures of Arabic Morphology

penultimate letter which will be ( Q). The (2) will


remain as it is,
e.g. (d
W U*X$[ (D), (W 
U [*X2[ (D).

When (W) or (&


^ ) are used in the (1
), the (/" s?š)
will not be pronounced as will the (L) of the (W) and (&
^ ), e.g.
(d
W W*W$[  W), (W fU 1D #[ &^ ).

Construction of the Derived Nouns

To construct the (/01


2) of any (6 ) besides (78 9:9),
the (  ) is modified by adding a (%F %) at the

beginning and making the penultimate letter ( Q) if it is not

already ( Q).


Examples:
%X U Qb X> ¥ %̀UQb X
X ¢  W X> ¥
` ¢  W X
/D AU^)X> ¥ /a AU^)X

The (1 2) is like the (/01 2) except that the

penultimate letter is (_*1).


Examples:
%X U Qb X> ¥ %̀WQb X
X ¢  W X> ¥
` h  W X
/D AU^)X> ¥ /a AW^)X

The ( 4 2) of these (6 () is used on the scale of the


(1 2). There is neither ( 3 2) nor (/1* 2) in

these (6 (). In ordert to express the meaning of the ( 3 2),

Page 95 - http://www.al-inaam.com/
Madrassah Inaamiyyah Camperdown
From the Treasures of Arabic Morphology

the words (;U UW) are added to the (=) for this purpose, e.g.

(6
X W*U$[ †Ub ;U UW) – the means of refraining.

To express the (/1* 2), the word (=“ „W (^) is used before the
(6 =), e.g. (ƒ W*U$ [ @U =“ „W (^) – more refraining. Words like
(X H^
b (^), (/¦ K^(^) etc. can also be used.

The sign of (*< 6 ) is the (N) after the ( FBQ ,<).


Rule 1

If the ( FBQ ,<) of (*< 6 ) is (7), (v), or (), the (N) of


(*<) is changed to (7). If the (FBQ ,<) is a (7), then (%l7@ -
assimilation) is compulsory, e.g. (
W W AW7[ @U) changes to (W07h @U).

If the ( FBQ ,<) of (*< 6 ) is (v), then after changing the


(N) to (7), the following three changes are permissible:

(1) The (v) is changed to (7) and the rule of (%l7@) is applied,

e.g. (W Q
^ AWvb @U) changes to (W ^ 7h @U).

Page 105 - http://www.al-inaam.com/


Madrassah Inaamiyyah Camperdown
From the Treasures of Arabic Morphology

(2) Sometimes the (7) is changed to (v) and then the rule of

(%l7@) is applied to the ( FBQ ,<), e.g. (W Q


^ AWvb @U) changes to
(W 
^ v @U).
(3) Sometimes the verb is left as it is without applying the rule of
(%l7@), e.g. (W 
^ 7W vb @U).

If the ( FBQ ,<) of (*< 6 ) is (), then after changing the


(N) to (7), the following two changes are permissible:

(1) the verb is left as it is without applying the rule of (%l7@),

e.g. (W $ W 7W [ @U).


(2) Sometimes the (7) is changed to () and then the rule of

(%l7@) is applied to the ( FBQ ,<), e.g. (W o W AW[ @U) changes to
(W $
W h @U).
Rule 2

If the ( FBQ ,<) of (*< 6 ) is (n), (Y), (©), or (ª), the


(N) of (*<) is changed to (©). If the ( FBQ ,<) is a (©), then

it is compulsory to apply (%l7@) e.g. (d


W B^*Wjb @U) changes to (d
W B^j @U).
If the ( FBQ ,<) of (*< 6 ) is (ª), then after changing the

(N) to (©), the following three changes are permissible:

Page 106 - http://www.al-inaam.com/


Madrassah Inaamiyyah Camperdown
From the Treasures of Arabic Morphology

(1) The (ª) is changed to (©) and the rule of (%l7@) is applied,

e.g. (
W B^*WŠb @U) changes to (W B^j @U).
(2) the verb is left as it is without applying the rule of (%l7@),

e.g. (
W B^f^ Šb @U).
(3) The (©) is changed to (ª) and the rule of (%l7@) is applied,

e.g. (
W B^*WŠb @U) changes to (W B^Š @U).

If the (FBQ ,<) of (*< 6 ) is (n) or (Y), then after


changing the (N) to (©), the following two possibilities are
permissible:
(1) the verb is left as it is without applying the rule of (%l7@),

e.g. (W !Wf


^"
[ @U) and (6
W W f^ 
[ @U).
(2) Sometimes the (©) is changed to (n) or (Y) and then the

rule of (%l7@) is applied, e.g. (W !W*W"


[ @U) changes to (W !W"
h @U) and
(6
W W *W
[ @U) changes to (6
W W 
h @U).
Rule 3

FBQ ,<) of (*< 6 ) is (¤), then it is permissible to


If the (

change the (N) to (¤) and apply the rule of (%l7@), e.g. (W W*9b @U)

changes to (W 9@U).

Page 107 - http://www.al-inaam.com/


Madrassah Inaamiyyah Camperdown
From the Treasures of Arabic Morphology

Rule 4

If the ( FBQ G0) of (*< 6 ) is (N), (¤), (e), (), (7),


(v), (\), («), (n), (Y), (©), or (ª), then after changing the

(N) to the same letter as the ( FBQ G0), the ( ) of the (N)

is transferred to the preceding letter and the rule of (%l7@) is

applied. The (/" s?š) is deleted, e.g. ( W


W *WM[ @U) changes to
(
Wh MW ) and (‰W=*Wp[ @U) changes to (‰h=pW ).

(4.2) The () of these verbs - (


W
h MW ) and (‰h=pW ) - will be
(
X¢€
W W>) and (‰
[ =¢ W W>).

(4.3) It is permissible to have a (s ) on the ( FBQ ,<), e.g.


(
X¢€
U W> W 
h MU ) and (‰
[ =¢ U W> ‰h=pU ). The words ('
^ [ FX 
¢€
U W>) and

[ =¢ U W>) which have appeared in the Qur’ân are from this (6 ).
(4.4) It is permissible to read a ( F) on the ( FBQ ,<) of the
(/01 2). Therefore all three harakats are permissible, e.g.
(
`¢€
W X ), (` 
¢€U X ), (` 
¢€
X X ).
Some of the detailed paradigms of this verb follow
hereunder.

Four-Root letter Verbs


The (6 () of (0 )

[ HU[ !WAX &^ ;0  [ HU[ W

The sign of (a B^B^[ <^


6 ) is the presence of four root letters in the
( /1). The ( :0) of this (6 ) is (%F).

The rule for the ( ) of the ( :0) is that if the ( /1
) has four letters, whether root letters or extra letters, the
( :0) will be (%F) even in the active tense

( ), e.g. (%X U Q


b X>), (
X ¢ 
W X>), (/D AU^)X>), (X HU[ !WX>). If the ( /1
) has less than or more than four letters, the ( :0
) will be (_*1), e.g. (X  X [W>), (d X U*Wo
[ W>), (/D W^)*WW>).

Four-root letter verbs are of three types:


(1) those of genuine four-radical origin, e.g. (
W $W [ AW) – to translate.

(2) verbs formed by the doubling of a biliteral root, e.g. (W l


^ [ l^ ) –

Page 126 - http://www.al-inaam.com/


Madrassah Inaamiyyah Camperdown
From the Treasures of Arabic Morphology

to gargle, (
W *WF[ AW) – to stammer.
(3) composite roots taken from a familiar phrase or combination
of roots, e.g. (
^ =W F[ W ) – to say Al-hamdulillāh, (/^ FW
[ W) – to say
Bismillāh.

The Rules of ( F)


Rule 1:
It is permissible to change a (s?PPš), that is alone and

(2) to correspond to the previous ( ).


That is,
(a) after a (;i*<), change the (s?š) into an (L).
Example
(\
` (VW )(head) becomes( \
` W. )

(b) after a ( F), change the (s?š) into a ().


Example
\
` ~[ X (destitute) becomes (\
` [ X).

(c) after a (s ), change the (s?š) into a (‰).


Example
d
` IbUv (wolf) becomes (d
` [>vU ).
nnnnn
Rule 2
If a hamzah mutaharrik (ZP
Pi* s?PPš) appears before a

(s?Pš) that is (P2), it becomes necessary to change the

(2) letter to the corresponding ( B ).


Examples

Page 147 - http://www.al-inaam.com/


Madrassah Inaamiyyah Camperdown

W W (^ becomes W W ‚
W U bD becomes W U [ D
ƒ#WbU becomes ƒ#WF[>U .
nnnnn

Rule 3
(3.1) It is permissible to change a (s?Pš) that is (_P*1)

and is preceded by a ( F) to a ().


Example
'a ~W $X becomes 'a W $X
'a ~W $X is the plural of a #W~W $X which means a perfume holder.
(3.2) It is permissible to change a (s?Pš) that is (_P*1)

and is preceded by a (s ) into a (‰).


Example
` …^U becomes ` WU .
nnnnn

Rule 4
(4.1) If two (s?P
Pš)’s are (ZPPi*) and one of them is
(P Q), then it is permissible to change the second (s?Pš)

into a (‰).
Example

Page 148 - http://www.al-inaam.com/


Madrassah Inaamiyyah Camperdown
From the Treasures of Arabic Morphology

a h @U^ can also be read as a Fh U>^ .


If there are two (s?Pš)'s which are (ZPi*) and none of

them are (PP Q), then it is necessary to change the

second (s?š) into a ().

Examples
i) %X 7U (^(^ will be read as %X 7U W^
ii) /D ¢ (^(D will be read as /D ¢ W (D

(,¡ W$) originally was (


a PU>$W ) (/P0< P2 of ,S PW$). The
(‰) which comes after (=PI LP) will change into a

(s?Pš). It becomes ( a PPUIW$). Now there are two ( s?Pš


ZPi*) and one of them is (P Q) . The second (s?Pš)
changes into a (‰) becoming ( ` IUPPW$) (according to the
rule of a P ¢ U^ - rule 4.1). (
` IUP
P$W ) can also be written as
[ X>,U PPW$. The ( FPP) on the (‰) is /PP)9 (difficult to
pronounce). Therefore it is removed and ([ [PP PUIW$)
remains. Now due to (GPP2 PPF*$@) (the coming

together of two [P2] letters), the (P2 ‰) is deleted.

Rule 5
If a (s?Pš) comes after the () or (‰) that are s=P and
s=I or if a (s?Pš) comes after the (‰) of (5PA P2), it is
permissible to change the (s?P PPš) into the letter that
precedes it and then (%PPl7@) (incorporation of one letter
into another) is made.

Example of () s=I s=


a I^[ X )b X sa W [ X )b X sa h X )b X

The word (a I^


[ X )b X ) is the (1 2) of ((DW )b W> (^W K^).

The word (™
` …UP[<^(D) is the (5PA P2) of (\
` X Pb<(^) which is
the (O}) of (\
` qb <^) - meaning axe.
nnnnn

Rule 6
If there occurs a (s?Pš) after the (LP) of /P01 and before

a (¯), the (s?P


Pš) changes to ( P*1 P
P> ) and the (‰)

changes to (L).
Example
The word (W>^fM
W ) is the plural of (a …^[fU MW ).
The word (PW>^fM
W ) was originally (a U>P^fMW ). The (‰) which
comes after the (LP
P) of (OP
P}) as the second last letter,
changes into a (s?P
Pš).14 It becomes (,­ ,U P
Pf^ MW ). Now we

have two (ZPi* s?Pš)’s and one of them is (P Q).


The rule of (a P
PhFU>^) applies, whereby the second (s?PPš)
changes into a (‰) and becomes  ` IUP^fMW . Now there is a

(s?Pš) after the (LP) of /P01 and it is before a (‰). It


changes to ( P*1 P>) and the (‰) changes to (LP). The

word becomes (W>^fM


W ).

NOTE: This law is compulsory (ƒ $).

Step by Step

nnnnn

Rule 7
If a (s?Pš) is (ZPi*) and it comes after a (P2) that is

not a ({=PI {=) nor is it (5PA ‰) , then the ( P) of


the (s?š) is given to the letter preceding it.

This law is permissible (ƒ$).


Examples
1) In the word (/
D …^P[ W>), the ( P) of the (s?Pš) is given to
the (\) and the (s?š) is then deleted. It becomes

(/
D
W W>).
2) In the words ]
W P^B<b (^ =[ K^ the ( P) of the (s?Pš) is given to
the (7) and the (s?š) is then deleted. It becomes

W B^<b =W K^ ).
3) In the words {X PWM(^ [ PU[ W> the ( P) of the (s?Pš) is
transferred to the (‰) and the (s?P Pš) is then deleted. It
becomes ({X WM 
W U [ W>).
nnnnn

Rule 8
The rule of (/
D …^PP[ W>) is compulsorily applied to all the
(P<() (verbs) of (¯W PW>) and (¯W PX>) ( P P
8).

Example
In (‰
X (^[ W>) the (
Pi*<) of the (s?Pš) is given to the () and the
(s?š) is deleted. It becomes (¯W W>).

NOTE:
It is permissible to apply this rule to the (N)*P
P+ ,P-)
(derived nouns) too.
The (›F =) can be read as (‰
ƒ [ W ) or (‰
ƒ W).
The ( ‚ 2) can be read as (sa ‚[U ) or (sa W U ).
The ( Pi*<) of the (s?Pš) of (sa ^([ PU) is given to the () and

Page 153 - http://www.al-inaam.com/

then the (s?š) is removed leaving (sa W U ).

The (1 2) can be read as ( IU[ W ) or (‰


 U W ).
nnnnn

Rule 9
If a (ZPi* s?Pš) is preceded by a (ZPi*) letter, then
both (dP >K GPP GP
P ) and (=P P GPP GP
P ) are both
permissible.
9.1 (dP>K G G ) is to read the (s?Pš) between its (eP|)
and the (e|) of the ( B ) corresponding to its

(hamza’s) .

9.2 (=P GP G ) is to read a letter between its (eP|) and

the (eP P|) of the ( PPB PP) corresponding to the


preceding ( ).

(G G ) is also known as / A.

Examples
When (G G ) is made on the word (^ q^2W ), then in both
(d>K G G ) and (=P ) the (eP|) will be that of (s?Pš)

and (L).

In the word (
W …UPW2) if (dP>K GP GP ) is made, then the

Page 154 - http://www.al-inaam.com/


Madrassah Inaamiyyah Camperdown
From the Treasures of Arabic Morphology

(e|) will be between (s?š) and (‰). If (=P GP GP ) is


made, then the (e|) will be between (s?š) and

(L).

In the word (%W ~


X ^) if (d>K
G G ) is made, then the
(e|) will be between (s?š) and (). If (=P GP GP ) is

made then the (e|) will be between (s?š) and (L).

(9.3) If there is a ( PPi* s?PPš) after (LPP), it is


permissible to apply (d>K G G ) only. (=P GP GP ) is
not permissible in this case.

Examples

[1] In the word (,S hKD ), the (s?š) is (_*1). Therefore the

(s?š) will be read between the (e|) of the (s?š) and the

(L).

[2] If (,T hKD ) is read with a (


F), the (s?š) will be read
between the (e|) of the (s?š) and ().

[3] If (,U hKD ) is read with a (s ), the (s?š) will be read

between the (e|) of the (s?š) and (‰).

The Orthography15 of the Hamzah

The following rules are general guidelines with regards to


how a hamzah is written:
(a) Hamzah is invariably written over or under an alif at
the beginning of a word, e.g. (W W (^), (W U (D) and ('
a W #[@U).
(b) When the initial hamzah is followed by an alif of
prolongation (long vowel LP ), the latter is replaced by a

madd over the initial alif, e.g. (` U ‚) for (` U ^().
(c) The hamzah tends to be written over the semi-
consonant ( PPB PP) corresponding to the vowel

( ) of the preceding letter.


Examples:
(X X qb W>), (X W ~
[ X>), (~W fD W), (R
X …bfU MW )

(d) Where the previous consonant has a ('QPP2), the


hamzah tends to be written over the semi-consonant
( B ) coinciding with its own vowel ( ).
Examples:
(
a [ ~X
[ W ), (a B^…U2[ (^), (%W q^„W )
This rule is applied for (P /P1) instead of (c) above.
Thus, (\
W ~X PW ) is written with a () and (
W …UPW2) with a (¯)
without dots.

Analysis of the changes

(1) The (P() of this (6P ) is (m


b PXM) which is an exception
from the normal method of constructing the (P(). (m
b PXM)
was originally (m
b MX [ (D).
(2) Similarly, the (P
P() of (/D PD b W> /^ P ^ (^) is (/
b PD ). It is
necessary to delete the (s?š) from both (m
b MX ) and (/b D ).
(3) In the verb, (X X qb PW> W PW(^), it is permissible to delete the

hamzas and to retain them. Therefore, both ([ PPX) and

([ PPX
[ (D) are correct to use. If the verb is used at the
beginning of the sentence, it is more eloquent to delete the

(s?š), e.g. it is stated in a hadîth, (sU ^B


h U [ D 7W ^[ (^ [X X ).
(4) If the verb is used in the middle of the sentence, then
most often the hamzah is retained, e.g. The Qur’ânic verse,
(sU ^B
h U 
W B^p[ (^ [ X (bW ).
(5) In the word-forms of ( P P) of this (6P ),
besides the singular first person (BQ*P =P), the rule of

(\
` (bW ) has been applied. The same rule applies to the
(1 2) and ( 4 2).

(6) The rule of (` …b U) applies in the ( 3 2).

(7) The rule of (\ ` ~[ P X) applies in the (P


P P P)
except for the singular first person (BQ* =).

(8) In the singular first person (BQ*P =P) of ( P

) and the (/1* 2), the rule of (‚) applies.


(9) In the plural (OP}) of (/P1* P2), the rule of (%X 7U W(^)
applies.
(10) In the singular first person of the (P

the rule of (

Discussion of (G F)

(1) The rule of (GP GP ) or (/P A) applies to all the verbs


of () of (7P8 P9:9 GP F). Note that this rule
is optional.
(2) The rule of (/

Rule 5

(5.1) If at the beginning of a word there is a (%FP ), it

is permissible to change it into a (s?š).

Examples
({` 
[ PX$X – plural of ;` P[$W ) changes to ({` 
[ PX$D). (This is an
example of an 2).

(R
[ *WPK•X – the [ ] of R
` KA) changes to
(R
[ *WPK•D). (This is an example of a /<).

(5.2) If (P
P Q ) appears at the beginning of a word, it
is permissible to change it to a (s?š).

Example
(_
` W„U – swordbelt) can be read as (_
` W„@U).

(5.3) If a (P< ) appears in the middle of a word, it is

permissible to change it into a (s?š).

Example
(` 
X 7[ ^) can be read as (` ˆX 7[ ^).

Rarely is a (_*1 ) changed into a (s?š).

Examples
(=
` W W - one) can be read as (=` W ^).
(sa W#
W – a lazy woman) can be read as (sa W#^).
nnnnn

Rule 6
When two (ZP
Pi* ˆ) come together at the beginning of

a word, it is compulsory (dP


P$) to change the first ()
into a (s?š).
Example
(/
D"
U WW ) is read as (/D "

Example of a (Zi*) at the end of a (/<):

(
W 0W 7W ) changes to (W07W ).
Example of a (Zi* ‰) at the end of a (/<):

Conditions for the above rule

This rule only applies if the following conditions are met:

[1] The () or (Zi* ‰) must not be in the place of the


( PFBQ ,P<). Therefore this rule will not apply to the word

Page 172 - http://www.al-inaam.com/


Madrassah Inaamiyyah Camperdown
From the Treasures of Arabic Morphology

=W 0W W <^ - the () is in the place of the ( FBQ ,<) and the
( ) is a (Lf0 ). It will also not apply to (›< W AW)
because the () is in the place of the ( PFBQ ,P<) of ( 6P

/“1A).
It will also not apply to W h WAW - (‰) is in the place of the
( FBQ ,<) of (/“1A 6 ).

[2] The () or (‰) must not be in place of the ( PFB ) of


a word which is (LP1). (LP1 is that word which has two

PB P). Therefore this law will not apply to the word
(¯WP^j) . Here () is in the place of the ( PFB ). The

law will also not apply in the word (


W PUW ). Here (‰) is in
the place of the ( FB ).

[3] The () or (‰) must not come before the (LP
P) of
( PPPHPA). Therefore this law will not apply to the word
(WPW07W ), since there is a () before the (LP) of ( PPHPA)

and in the word (P PWW), since there is a (‰) before the
(L) of ( PHPA).

Page 173 - http://www.al-inaam.com/


Madrassah Inaamiyyah Camperdown
From the Treasures of Arabic Morphology

[4] The () or (‰) must not come before a ({=P


PI {C=P).
Therefore this law will not apply to the word (/ a PP[>U j^ )
because the () is before a (‰) which is not a ( P P
BP"(). It will also not apply in the word (` [ PXl^ ) because
the () after the (‰) is not a (BP" P). Also in the

word (a P WWl
^ ), the (‰) is before an (LP
P) which is not a
(B" ).

Objection
In the words ([0
W 7W ), ('^ [ PW+€
[ W>), ('^ [ PW+€
[ AW) and (W [PW+€
[ AW), the
() and (‰) were not supposed to be changed to (LP
P)
because they came before a ({=PI {C=P), but yet this rule
has been applied.

Answer
The (‰) in these words is a separate word and it is the

(/0<) of the (/P<), while the ({=P) is not (=PI), therefore

the () or (‰) changes to (L) and then falls off due to

(G2 F*$@).

[8] The word must not be from (P

meaning of (/01A 6P ). For example, the word W  W PW*$[ @U (in
the meaning of W  W PPWoAW ) and W W PPW*0[ @U (in the meaning of
W W WAW). Both words mean to take in turns.

(7.2) If after such an (LP) (which has been changed from

a  or ‰), there is a (2) letter, the (L) falls off.

Examples

[1] In the word ([

becomes ([W07W ). Here (LP) has come before a (P2 ).

The (L) falls off and it becomes ([0


W 7W ).

[2] In the word (


W [UPW[ AW), the first (‰) changes to an (LP).
Due to the (LP) coming before a (P2), it is deleted. It

becomes (

W [ AW).

(7.3) If such an (LP


P) has come before a (wP
P#AN) of
(›P /P<), even if the (N) is (ZPi*), the (LP) is
deleted.

Examples
1. The word (N

[ PW07W ). Now we have an
(LP) before (wP#A N) of (›P /P<). Therefore it is
deleted. It becomes (R

2. The word (WA


W 0W 7W ) changes to (WAW07W ). There is a ( wP#WA PA

of the () or (‰) is transferred to the preceding letter.

Example

[1] In the word (


D X Pb)W>), the (
P) of the () which is a
( FP) in this case, is given to the (r). It becomes (
D [ PD)W>).
(This is an example of ‰ $().

[2] In the word (O


X PU![W>), the (sP ) of the (‰) is given to the
(6). It becomes (O
X P[!UW>). (This is an example of P$(

¯>).

(8.2) If the ( P) is a ( Pi*<), the () or (‰) is changed


into an (L).

Examples

[1] In the word (


D W Pb)X>), the (
Pi*<) of the () is given to the
(r). It becomes (
D [ P^)X>). Now due to the ( Pi*<), the () is
changed into an (L) becoming ( D ^)X>).

D W )b X> D [ )^ X> D ^)X>

[2] In the word (O


X PW![X>), the ( Pi*<) of the (‰) is given to the
(6) becoming (O X P[!WX>). Now due to the ( Pi*<) of the (6)
the (‰) changes into an (L), thus becoming ( X W!X>).
OX W![X> OX [!WX> 
X W!X>
Remember

The conditions applicable to Rule 7 apply to Rule 8 as


well.

(8.3) If such a () or (‰) is followed by a (P2), in the

Page 180 - http://www.al-inaam.com/

case of ( F) and (s ), the () or (‰) will be deleted.

Example of (¯ $()

In the word (
b [ PD)W> [ ^) because of (GP2 PF*$@) the ()

is deleted. It becomes (/ b )D W> [ ^).

Example of ›I> $(

In the word (O
[ P[!UW>[ P^), the (‰) is followed by a (P2),
therefore the (‰) is deleted. It becomes (O [ !UW> [ ^).

(8.4) If a () or (‰) is followed by a (P2) and preceded

by a ( Pi*<), the (LP) (which was originally  or ‰) is


deleted.

Examples

(
b W )b X> [ ^) changes to (b P^)X> [ P^). After the (LP) is deleted,

it becomes (/
b )^ X> [ ^).
(O
[ WP[!X>
[ ^) changes to ( [ PW!X> [ P^). After the (LP) is deleted,
it becomes (O [ !WX> [ ^).

This rule (Rule 8) does not apply to the words (=


W PW0W [ PW)
because condition number one has not been fulfilled.
In the words (¯UPbfW>) and (›PWi
[ W>), the rule is not applied
because of condition number 2 - (L1 G0).

The words (
a W)b U ), (a Wi
[ AU) and (?` [PPUF[ AW) remain unchanged
because of the fourth condition - ({=I {= /!K).

However, the () of the (P1 P2) is an exception to

condition number 4. Despite there being a ({=PI {=P), the


( ) of the () or (‰) will still be given to the previous letter.

Example of (‰ $)


In the word (
a [ X )b W ) which is the (P1
2) of (PK), the
( FP) of the () is still transferred to the (r). It becomes

(
a [ [ PD)W ). Due to (GP2 PF*$@), the first () is deleted.
It becomes ( a [ )D W ).

Example of (›I> $()

` [ X![W ) which is the (P1


In the word ( 2) of (W ^P ), the
( P ) of the (‰) is transferred to the (6). It becomes
(
` [ P[!XW ). Due to (GP2 PF*$@), the () is deleted and it
becomes (ÒP[!XW ). Since the corresponding ( P) of (‰)

is a (s ), the (6) is given a (s ). It becomes (Ò[!UW ).

Exception

In the words X W PP[W> (to be one-eyed), =X WPP[W> (to have a


crooked neck), 7X  W P 2[ (^ (black), ¬
X WP [(^ (white) and sa 7h W P
[ X
(black), due to condition number 6 (i.e. having the
meaning of a colour or defect), no change occurs.

The aforementioned rule (Rule 8) does not apply to ( P P2@


/PP1A), that is those words on the scale of (
D W PPbK(^); or
(do* <(), like (;X P^
W Kb (^ W and ;U PU b U PbK(^); and words that

Rule 9

(9.1) If there is a () in the (


PFB ) of (P P),
the preceding letter is made (P2) and the ( P) of the

() is transferred to the preceding letter. Then the ()

changes to (‰).

Example 1

^ U KD ^ [ KU /^ [KU.
Example 2

7W U )D #[(D 7W [ )U #[(D =W [)U #[(D

(9.2) If there is a (‰) in (P P) in the place of the


( P FB ), the preceding letter is made (PP2) and the
( P
P) of the (‰) is transferred to the preceding letter.
No other changes are made.

Example 1

In the word (O
W P U X) the (6) is made (P
P2). It becomes
(O
W U [). Now the ( ) of the (‰) is transferred to the

(6), thus becoming (O


W [ U).
OW U X OW U [ OW [ U
Example 2

In the word (W U*XPP[M(D) the (N) is made (P2). It becomes

(W U*[ PP M
[ (D). P )
The ( of the (‰) is transferred to the

(N). It becomes (W [ *UPM


[ (D).

W U*XM[ (D W U*[M[ (D W [*UPM[ (D

(9.3) It is also permissable to retain the ( PP) of the


preceding letter and to make the () or the (‰) (P2). In

this case the (‰) changes to ().

Examples

^ U KD ^ [ KD
OW U X OW [ X W [ X
W U*XM[ (D W [*XM[ (D W [ *XM[ (D
7W U )D #[(D 7W [ )D #[(D
(9.4) It is also permissible to pronounce these words with

Page 185 - http://www.al-inaam.com/


Madrassah Inaamiyyah Camperdown
From the Treasures of Arabic Morphology

(%P±@). (%P±@) means to pronounce a ( P) in such a way


that it has the effect of another ( P ). For example in

the word (/^ P[KU), the (sPP ) of the (r) is pronounced in


such a way that it has the fragrance of a ( F).

Similar is the case with the (6) of (O


W P[ U). The (sP ) of
the (6) will have the effect of a ( FP). The condition for
this rule is that changes must have taken place in the
( P) form of the verb. Therefore, the word (W 
U PX*0[ (D)
will remain unchanged because the ( P
P) form of this
word, namely (W 
W *W0[ @U) was unaffected by any change.

(9.5) In (‰
$(), if the ( FB ) is (_*1) in
(  ), after the (‰) is deleted in the

( ), the ( FBQ ,<) is given a ( F) from the

( 5") of (dPIl w#~ O}) until the end (i.e. OP}  PHA

Note:
In the (P8) of (1*P2( 6P ), the transferring of the

( P) is not according to this rule i.e. rule number 9, but


is due to rule number 8 (the rule of  D [ PD)W>). Therefore the
rule of ( ^ [ P

Rule 10
(10.1) If the ( PPFBQ %&) of the following word form’s
( 5P") is () or (‰), it becomes (P2) if it is preceded

by a ( F) or a (s ):

1. /D W 1b W>

(10.2) If a word has a () preceded by a ( FPP) and

followed by another (), that () falls off.

Example of ()

In the word '^ [ X 0X =[ PW> (dPIl mP OP}), before the ()
there is a ( FP P) and after the () there is another ().
Therefore, the first () is made (P2) and the second one

falls off due to (G2 F*$@). It becomes (' ^ [ 0X =[ W>).

If a (‰) is preceded by a (sP ) and followed by another

(‰), the first (‰) becomes (P


P2) and the other (‰) is
deleted because of (G2 F*$@).

Example of (‰)

In the word W [UU [ AW (P wP#~ =) there is a (sP )


before the (‰) and it is followed by a second (‰).

Therefore the first (‰) becomes (P P2) and the second
(‰) falls off. It becomes ( W [U [ AW).

(10.3) If a () is preceded by a ( FP


P) and followed by a

Page 190 - http://www.al-inaam.com/


Madrassah Inaamiyyah Camperdown

(‰), the preceding letter is made (P2) and the ( P)


of the () is transferred to the preceding letter. Then the

() changes into a (‰) and falls off due to ( PPF*$@


G2).
Example

In the word (
W [>U 0X =[ PWA) the () is preceded by a (
FP) and
followed by a (‰), therefore the preceding letter () is

made (P2) and the ( P) of the () which is a (sP )

is transferred to the preceding letter, the (). It therefore

becomes ( W [>[ 0U =[ PWA). Due to the preceding (sP ), the ()
changes into a (‰). Now due to (GP2 PF*$@) the (‰)

is deleted. It becomes ( W [0U =[ AW).

(10.4) If a (‰) is preceded by a (sP ) and followed by a

(), the preceding letter is made (P2) and the ( P) of


the (‰) is given to the preceding letter. Then the (‰)

changes into a () and falls off due to (G2 F*$@).

Example

In the word ('


^ [ PXU [ W>), the (‰) is preceded by a (sP ) and
followed by a (). Therefore, the preceding letter (%) is

made (2) and the ( P) of the (‰) which is a ( FP),


is transferred to the preceding letter (%). It becomes

('
^ [ P[X [ W>). Due to the preceding ( FP), the (‰) changes to

Rule 13

(13.1) If a () comes in the place of the ( PFB ) preceded


by a (sPP ) in the (=P P), it changes into a (‰), on
condition that (/BA – a change) occurred in the (/<).

Examples

1. The word ƒWKU (which is the =P of %W P^K) was originally


ƒWKU.
2. The word ƒWP "
U (which is the =P
P of %W P
P"W) was

originally ƒW"
U.

However, the word (ƒWKU ) which is the (=) of (%W 


W ^K) of
( PPB01 6PP ) remains unchanged, because no (/P
PBA)
occurred in the (/<). The (/<) is (%W

(13.2) The same (/P


PBA) occurs if a () comes in place of
the ( PFB ) of a word that is (OP}), on condition that ()
is (2) in the ( 5P" =P) or (/PBA) took place in the

() of the ( 5" =).

Rule 14
(14.1) If a () or (‰) which are are not changed from any
other letter, come together in one word, which is not
(›0P  gPiB) (on the scale of e
W W P[7W ) and the first of the
two, namely the () or (‰) is (P2), then the () changes

into a (‰). Then (%Pl7@) is made and the preceding ( FP)

is changed into (s ).

Examples

1. In the word 7̀U[PW2 , () and (‰) come together, and the

first of the two i.e. the (‰) is (P


P2). Therefore the ()
changes into a (‰), thereby becoming (=
` U[PPW2). After

Page 196 - http://www.al-inaam.com/


Madrassah Inaamiyyah Camperdown

( %l7@) is made, it becomes (=` ¢2W ).

2. In the word (‰
` [ P
PX[ W ), () and (‰) come together, and
the first of the two i.e. the () is (P2). Therefore the ()

changes into a (‰), thereby becoming (


` PP[X [ W ). After
(%Pl7@) is made, it becomes (
 PX[ W ). The ( FP) of the (%)
is changed to a (s ), thereby becoming (
 U [ W ).

3. In the word (‰
` [ PXX ), (which is the =P of ›PWW
›[ PUF[ W>), the () and (‰) come together, and the first of the
two i.e. the () is (P2). Therefore the () changes into a

(‰) becoming  ` [P  X X . After (%P


Pl7@) is made, it becomes
(
 PX X ). The ( FP P) of the (%) is changed to (sP P )
thereby becoming (  PUX ). It is also permissible to read the
(%) with (sP P ) corresponding with the ( P P) of the
(Y), that is (U U ).

(14.2) The (P () of (P³>U (D P ¯


[ U qb PW> P ‰W(^ – to take
refuge) is (
U (b@U). The (,) changes to a (‰). It becomes U P[>@U, .
Because this (‰) has changed from a (s?Pš), rule 14.1 will

not apply.

Another example where this rule will not apply is the word
('
a W [

If the () and (‰) are in different words, no change will


occur.

Example
(1)

(2)

Example
In the word (
` PD7[ (^) - (OP} of ` Pb7W ), the () is on the ( %&

Rule 20

(20.1) If a () comes in the fourth position or later in a

word and it is not preceded by a ( FP) or a (P2 ), it


changes into a (‰).

Examples
1. The word ('
U W0W =[ PX>) was originally ('U W0W =[ PX>). The () is
in the fourth position of the (/P
P<), thus it changes into a
(‰).

2. The word (R
X P[B^0[ (^) was originally (N
X [ P^B0[ (^). The () is in
the 4th position of the (/<), thus it changes into a (‰).

3. The word (R
X [B^[ *WP[2@U) was originally (N
X [ B^[ *WP[2@U). The ()
is in the sixth position of the (/P<), thus it changes into a

(‰).

(20.2) The plural of (,­ W0=


[ PU) is ( 0U W=PW), which originally
was (
X [0U W=PW). In this word, the () is in the sixth position.
It changes into a (‰) and (%PPl7@) is made. It becomes

(
“ 0U W=PW). The rule of (=` ¢PW2) (Rule number 14, example 2)
is not applicable here because the (‰) has changed from

an (LP). The (7P1) of this word is (,­ W0=


[ PU). In Rule 14,
the condition was that the () or (‰) must not be changed
from another letter.
nnnnn

Rule 21
(21.1) The (LP) that comes after a ( FP) changes into a
().
Examples
1. The word (6
W U [ PPX) was originally (6
W U PPX) - (the
[8 ›] of 6 X U PWX> 6WPW). The (LP) is preceded
by a ( F), thus it changes into a ().

2. The word 6 ` U [>W P


X - (5PPA P P2) of (6
` U P
PW ) was
originally (6
` U [>PX). The (LP) is preceded by a ( FP),
thus it changes into a ().

Page 206 - http://www.al-inaam.com/

From the Treasures of Arabic Morphology

(21.2) The (LP) that comes after a (sP ) changes into a

‰
( ).
Example
The word dX PP[>U WiW (plural of 6 ` WPP[iU ) was originally
6
X UP
PiW W . The (LP P) is preceded by a (sP P ), thus it
changes into a (‰). It becomes (d X [>U WiW ) .
nnnnn

Rule 22
If there is an (=I
LP) before the (LP) of ( PPHPA) or
(µ2 w#~ O}), it changes into a (‰).

Example

i. The ( HA) of (›P^B![X ) is ('U PWB^![X ). The end of the word


(›^B![ 
X ) has an (LP) which does not accept a ( P).
Therefore, the (L) is changed into (‰).

ii. The (O}) of (›^B![  X ) is (N ` WB^![X ). Here also the the (L)
of (›^B![ 
X ) is changed into (‰).
nnnnn

Rule 23
If (‰) appears as the ( P FB ) of either a plural on the

scale of (/
a P[<D) or it appears in the feminine adjective on the
scale of (›^B[ <D), the preceding letter is given a (s ).
Examples
1. The word (¬
` [PPU ) (plural of ,T PPW[ W ¬
X WPP[ (^) was
and

originally ¬
` [PPX . The (‰) appears as the ( P
PFB ) of
(/
a PP[<D), thus the preceding letter is made (P P Q). It
becomes (¬
` [ U).
2. The word (›P
PQ^ [U – meaning ‘to walk arrogantly’) was
originally (›P^Q[ 
X ). The (‰) appears as the ( PFB ) of the
feminine (›P
PP^B[ <D), thus the preceding letter is made
( Q). It becomes (›^Q[ 
U ).

Note:
This rule is like an exception to Rule 3 where the (‰)

changes to (). Instead of changing the (‰) to (), the (‰)

is maintained and the ( FPP) which is the preceding

( ), is changed to (s ).

The (/P1A P2) falls in the category of (Nv P2), that


is, a noun not having any descriptive qualities.
Examples
(W 
[PPDj) - the (wP
P#~) of (dP
Pj( ). It was originally
(W![ j
D ) - purer. The (‰) is changed to ().
(P
PW2[ D ) – the (wPP#~) of (™
X WPPb(^). It was originally
(W [ 
D ) - (more intelligent). The (‰) is changed to ().

nnnnn

Rule 24
If a (=P) comes on the scale of (a P^
[ BD[ <^) and the ( PFB
) is a (), the () will change into a (‰).

Example
The word ( a #W[ X[^ ) was originally (a #W[ #X[ ^ ), the ( PFB ) is a (),
thus it changes into a (‰) thereby becoming (a #W [ X[^ ).

The rule for words on the scale of (/


D 0U ^<(^) or (/D PU0^1W ), is that if
they end in (‰), and are (sQ#), [that is, they are neither ( 
%& ) nor ( )], then in (P‹ OP< ), the (‰) is
deleted. The (FB ) is now read with tanwīn.
In (d ), the word will remain (_*1).

Example of (sQ#), that is, they are neither (%&P ) nor

( ): (‰
` U W$W ) changes to (¡ W$W ).

Rule 26
(26.1) If a () comes in place of the (
FBQ %&)of (›P^B[ <D) in a
word which is either (=$ 2@) or (/P1A 2@), it changes

into a (‰).

Examples

i. The word (W#[ 7X ) was originally (W#[ 7X ). A () comes in place

of the ( FBQ %&) of (›^B[ <D). Thus it changes into a (‰). It


becomes (W#[ 7X ). This is the (/1A 2@) from (¶#X7X  [ #X=[ W> W#7W )
– to be near, [# 6 ].

ii. The word (PWBb 0 X ) was originally (WPbB0X ). A () comes in


place of the ( FBQ %&) of (›P^B[ <D ). Thus it changes into a

(‰). It becomes (WBb 0 X ). This is the (/1A 2@) from ( ^B0W


¶BD0X [ BD[ W>)- to be high, [# 6 ].

Exception
If this word is a ( 1P"), it remains unchanged e.g. ¯W?[ PTlD (a
female warrior).

(26.2) If a (‰) comes in place of the ( PFBQ %&) of a word on


the scale of (›^B[ <^ ), it changes into a ().

Example
The word (¯W)b AW) was originally (W)b AW). A (‰) comes in place of

the ( FBQ %&) of this word. Thus it changes into a ().

Analysis of the changes

(1) The verbs of (‰ PH) are used in all the (6P ()

except (# 6 ).
(2) The () of ( P P) has been deleted due to

rule no.1 – the rule of (= X U W>).


(3) The () of the (=P P) has been deleted due to rule
no.2 – the rule of (sa =
W 0U ).
(4) In (P P), the () can be changed to (s?Pš)

according to rule no. 5 – the rule of ({`  [ P $X (D). Accordingly,


(=
W PU0X ) can be pronounced as (=W PU0(D). The same applies to the

feminine of the (/PP1* PP2) – (‰W=PP[0


X ) can be
pronounced as (‰W=0
[ (D).
(5) The broken plural - (P Q OP}) of the ( /P01 P2
wP#~) which is (=X PU0W(^) was originally (=X PU0WW ). The first
() is changed to a (s?Pš) according to rule no. 6 - the rule

of (/
D"U W(^).
(6) The () of the ( P3 P2) has changed to (‰) according

to rule no. 3 – the rule of (7̀W[ U ).

(7) However, the () is unchanged in the dimunitive ( P2

5P*) of the ( P3 P2) – (=` P[U [>W X ) and in the ( OP}
P Q) – (=X P[0U WW ), because the reason for the change is not
found, namely the ( [ ) and a preceding (s ).

(1) The forms of the (/P01 2) and (P1 P2) have
become the same, namely (7̀P PW*)b X ). However, the original
form of each word is different. The (/P P01 PP2) was
(7̀U*W)b X ) while the (P1 P2) was (7̀WPW*)b X ). Note that the

( P4 2) is also the same as the (P1 P2) as in all

other (6 () of (78 9:9 l).

(2) The verbs of the perfect tense (P P) in the form of
(dIl m HA) and (dPIl mP OP}) are the same as

the (P mP HA) and (P mP OP}) of the

imperative (P(), that is (7W PW*Kb @U) and ([7X PW*Kb @U). However, the

originals of the (P) were (W7 W PW*Kb @U) and ([7X W PW*Kb @U) while
the originals of the (P() were (W7 U PW*Kb @U) and ([7X U PW*Kb @U). The
(P() is constructed from the (P) which is (' U W7U PW*)b AW).
Therefore the () is ( Q).

Analysis of the changes

(1) The verbs of (IP> JKP#) and (IP> P$() do not


come on the (6 ) of (#).

(2) The () in the ( P4 2) – (ƒ0= [ PW) and in the ( P2
P3) – (ƒ0=[ PU) is deleted due to rule no. 7. If these words
are used with ( b (^) or as a ( P), the (LP) is retained,
e.g. (
[ D W0=[ U W [ D W0=[ W W W0=[ FU bW W0=[ FW b^).
(3) The () in the word (,­ W0= [ PU) has changed to (s?Pš) as in
the (=).

(4) In the plural of the ( P4 P2) – ( ¡ W=PW) and the

plural of the (/P1* P2) – (


¡ W7(^), rule no. 25 has been
applied.

“ 0U W=PW) which is the plural of the ( P2
3), the () has changed to a (‰) due to rule no. 20.

(7) In the words (' U P
PWW0[ 7X ) and (N
` P
PWW0[ 7X ), the (LP
P) has
changed to a (‰) due to rule no. 22. This applies to all the

words which are (wP#~ HA) of the (/P1* P2) and the

Analysis
(1) Rule no. 7 has been applied to (W07W ).

(2) If an (LP) is changed from a (), it is written in the

form of an (LP), e.g. (PW07W ). If the (LP) is changed from a

(‰),it is written in the form of an (‰), e.g. (œW ).

(3) If an (LP) is deleted due to (GP  PF*$@) or


(>P
PA), if (b ^) is attached or the word is ( PP), the

Page 247 - http://www.al-inaam.com/


Madrassah Inaamiyyah Camperdown
From the Treasures of Arabic Morphology

(LP) will be written in the form of a (‰) in all three cases

– (P‹ dP O< ), e.g. If the word (ƒ0=[ PW) has
(
b ^) attached to it or it is ( PP), the (LPP) will be
written in the form of a (‰) e.g. ( [ QD œ0=[ PW W W0=[ PWFb mPp),
(
[ QD œ0=[ P
PW W œ0=[ P PWFb R
X P P[>(^W ) and ( W œ0=[ P PWFbU N
X [ W P
PW
[ QD œ0=[ PPW). According to the grammarian, Sībawayh, in
(dP P), the (sP) LP) will be written in the

form of an (L), e.g. ( [ D W0=[ W R


X [>(^W ).
(4) In the dual form (WP PW07W ), the () remains unchanged
because it appears before the (L) of ( HA).

(5) From (' ^ [ PPW07W ) till the end, all the words are in their
original form.
(6) In the (P P), rule no. 11 has been applied to
all the words whereby the () changes to (‰). In the word

(
[ 0X 7X ), the (‰) is deleted.
(7) In words like (
[ 0X =[ PW>), the () has become (P2) due
to rule no. 10.1. In ('
^ [ 0X =[ PW>), ('^ [ 0X =[ PWA) and (W [0U =[ PWA), the ()
is deleted due to rule no. 10.2 and 10.3. Besides the ( OP}
wP#~) and all the forms of ( PHA), all the remaining words

Page 248 - http://www.al-inaam.com/


Madrassah Inaamiyyah Camperdown
From the Treasures of Arabic Morphology

are unchanged.
(8) The plural masculine word-forms are the same for the
masculine and feminine, namely ('
^ [ 0X =[ W>) and ('^ [ 0X =[ AW).
(9) In the (P P), the () has changed to (‰) due
to rule no. 20, e.g. (W0= [ X>).
(10) The ( w#~ =) and (P wP#~ O}) have

the same word-forms, namely ( W [0W =[ P PXA). However, the


original form of the (P PP wP PP#~ =P PP) was
(
W [>U 0W =[ AX) while the original form of the (P wP#~ OP})
was (' ^ [ 0W =[ AX).
(11) In words like (›œ0= [ PX> [ P^), due to the (LP) at the end,
the effect of the ( [ ^) is not visible.
(12) If at the time of (GP P  P PF*$@), the first sâkin
letter is a (s=P), it is deleted. If it is not a (s=P), the () is

rendered a ( FP) and the (‰) a (sP ), e.g. ('  X 0W =[ PX^) and
(
h U0W =[ *X^).
(13) Rule no. 11 has been applied to all the words of
(/P01 P2). Rule no. 10 applies to ( ¡ W7). The rules of

(n) 2‘) mentioned previously apply to it.

(14) Only (%l7@) has been applied to the (1 2).

The paradigms of this verb are similar to those of (


D [ )D W> ^ ^K).
The rules of (F) have to be applied to the (s?š) while the

rules of (/*) apply to the (). Wherever there is a conflict of

the two, the rules of (/*) will be given preference. For

example, (
D [ ~X W>) was originally (D X qb W>). It required the rule of
(\
` (bW ) to change the (s?š) to (L), whereas the rules of (/*)
required the transferring of the harakah to the preceding letter.
Preference was awarded to the latter.

Similarly, (
D [ ˆX (^) was originally (D X ,V (^). The rule of (W W ‚)
required changing the (s?š) to (L). However, the rule of

(/*) of transferring the harakah was preferred. It became

(
D [ ˆX (^). Thereafter, the second hamzah was changed to () due to
the rule of (%X 7U W(^). It became (

Analysis
(1) The verb (¯œW>) was originally (‰
X (^[ W>). The rule of (/D …^
[ W>) is
first applied after which the (‰) is changed to (L) due to rule
no. 7. This change applies to all the word-forms except the dual
form in which only the rule of (/
D …^
[ W>) applies. In the plural
masculine forms and the singular second person feminine, the
(L) is deleted due to (G  F*$).
(2) In words like (¯œW> [ ^), no visible change has taken place
because the (L) does not accept any harakah.

(3) The (L) is deleted from words like (W W> [ ^) because of the
(
[ ^).

Page 280 - http://www.al-inaam.com/


Madrassah Inaamiyyah Camperdown
From the Treasures of Arabic Morphology

(4) In words like (


h W>W W^), the (‰) reverts in place of the (L)
because the latter cannot accept a harakah. The ( B)9 '#)
requires a ( i*<) before it.
(5) In ('  X W W^), due to (G  F*$) between the () and the
('), and the () is not a (s=). Therefore a ( F) is rendered to it

to indicate the deletion of the ().

(6) The imperative (W ) is constructed from (¯œAW). After deleting

the ( :0), the (L) is deleted from the end. It becomes

(W ).

(7) The imperative ( h W>W ) was originally (W ). The ( B )
which was deleted due to a (LK) now reverts. However, the

(L) was not capable of upholding a harakah. Hence, the (‰)

which changed into (L) reverts so that it can carry the ( i*<)

which the ( B)9 '#) requires before it. It becomes ( h W>W ). In (' X W )
and ( h U>W ), the () and (‰) are rendered a dammah and kasrah
respectively because they are not (s=). A harakah is not

permissible on a (s=). The dammah indicates the deletion of the

Page 281 - http://www.al-inaam.com/

() from the original while the kasrah indicates the deletion of a

(‰).

(1) The remainder of the paradigm is similar to (TO[!UW> 


W W ).
(2) The verb (,T W+W> ,S W„) which is (I> $( %: F) can
be from (O- 6 ) or (]*< 6 ). A letter from the ( )B )

is present in the ( FBQ %&). The (s ) of the ( /1) is

not visible. In the verbs before ( W …b„U ), the (‰) was changed to
(L). The original of the (L) could therefore be either ( ‰

s Q) or ( *1 ‰). The question arises as to why the verbs
from (W …b„U ) till (W…b„U ) have been rendered a kasrah. The answer to
this is that if this verb is from (O- 6 ), the kasrah of the ( ,<

FBQ) indicates the kasrah of the ( FBQ G0). If this verb is


from (]*< 6 ), the kasrah of the ( FBQ ,<) indicates the

deleted (‰) as in ( W [ U).

Madrassah Inaamiyyah Camperdown
From the Treasures of Arabic Morphology

(3) In the imperative (


b $U ) and the words affected by (%?$) like

boU W> [ ^), the hamzah can be changed to (‰). In (qb „W ) and ( [ ^
W W>), the hamzah can be read as an (L). The ( B ) will
qb +
however remain and not be deleted because the hamzah is a root
letter. In (%:
F) the ( FBQ %&) is not deleted.
(4) The hamzah of ( a [ o
U W ) and (a …^[+
U W ) cannot be changed to (‰)
and then (%l7@) be applied because the (‰) is an original letter.

Therefore the rule of ( …fM) cannot be applied here as this is not

a (s=I s=).

(5) The (‰) of (D U>WoW ) and similar words is not changed to a
hamzah because it is a root letter. The rule of (?X IUWo0W ) only applies

to a (s=I ) or (s=I ‰).

The Rules of (L0)

Rule 1
If there are two letters of the same type (™#Po*) or they

are similar (6P


P)*) and the first is (P
P2), it will be
assimilated into the second letter. That is, (%P
Pl7@) will be
applied.
This rule applies whether the letters are in the same word
or in two separate words.

Examples of (%l7@) in the same word

i. 7̀[=W = W (Example of [G #o*] letters, that is “7”)


ii. 7̀[=„W = „W (Example of [G #o*] letters, that is “7”)
iii. [ P
T A[=!W0W [ A“=W!0W (Example of [G PPPP)*]
letters, that is “7” and “N”)

In the case of (G P)*), the first letter is changed into the second
letter before (%l7@) is applied. In the above example, (7) is changed

to (N) first, and then the two (N)’s are assimilated. However, the (7)
is still written, although not pronounced.

Page 284 - http://www.al-inaam.com/

Examples of (%l7@) in two words

W U d
[ pW vb @U W ¢ d
[ pW vb @U
[#X^ W [ W 0W [#X^ h [ W 0W
Exception

In two words, if the first word is a ({C=)1, the letters will not be

assimilated, that is, (%l7@) will not be applied.

Example

%¡ [ W> ›[ <U

However, if the ({C=P) is in the same word, (%Pl7@) will be


applied.

Example

` [>U 7W ‰
 U 7W
nnnnn

1
A ({W=P) is either a () preceded by a ( FC P), a (‰) preceded by a (sP ) or
a (L) preceded by a ( i*<)

Page 285 - http://www.al-inaam.com/


Madrassah Inaamiyyah Camperdown
From the Treasures of Arabic Morphology

Rule 2
If two letters of the same type are (ZPi*), and the letter

preceding the first (C( /!K ) is also (ZPi*), the first letter
will be made (2) and then the two letters will be assimilated,

that is, (%l7@) will be applied.

Example

7W =W PW 7W =[ PW =h W

Zi* Zi*
2nd 1st letter
letter

W W <^ W [ <^ h <^


C( /!K

Zi*
2nd

However, if a noun ( 2@) has a ( ) on the ( PFBQ G0), the


letters will not be assimilated. In this case, (%l7@) will not apply.

` W „W
` X 2X
nnnnn

Rule 3
If the letter preceding the first ( C( /P!K ) is (P2) and not a
({C=), the ( ) of the first letter will be given to its preceding letter
and then (%l7@) will be applied.

Example

7X =X F[ W> 7X =[ FX W> =“ FX W>


(C( /!K ) preceding letter

(W() first letter


C( /!K

X U 1b W> X [ 1U W> “ 1U W> (6 6 )


¬X  W [ W> ¬X  [ W W> ¬
“ W W> (O- 6 )
Exception
This rule does not apply to the words of (giB).

Rule 4

If the preceding letter is a ({C=P


P), without transferring the
( P), the first letter will be made (P2) and both will
be assimilated, that is, (%l7@) will be applied.

Examples

Rule 5

If after applying (%P


Pl7@), there is a (LP
PK-pause) due to
(P(), or there is a (%?P$), the following are permissible in
the second letter:

i. i*< – because it is the lightest letter (Nc LM().


ii. s  – whenever any (2) letter is rendered a harakah, it is

rendered a kasrah. The rule is ( U


[ Q^ bU ZW ¢ X ZW ¢ X v@ X  ).
iii. %l7@ 
“ <^ – (no %l7@ takes place).
Example

The ( 5" () of (“ 1U W> h <^) is:


[ U <b @U y ¢ <U y h <U
If the preceding letter (C( /P!K ) is (%FP), then ( FP)
is also permissible.

Example

7[ =X F[ W> [ ^ y =“ FX W> [ ^ y =h FX W> [ ^ y =¢ FX W> [ ^

When the final letter has ('Q2), either because of a suffix, or

because it is in the jussive case (%?‹ ) or it is the imperative

Page 289 - http://www.al-inaam.com/


Madrassah Inaamiyyah Camperdown

(.), the two letters must be written separately, e.g. (W#7[ =


W W ) and
(7[ =
X [ (D).
When the final letter is (Zi*) – it is vowelled – the two are

coalesced.18 This does not apply to the (=) – verbal noun,

where the (L) interposes between the two final letters, e.g.

(7̀W=[ @U).

because the second radical is (2).

(2) However, from (N

Special Meanings of Each (6 )

6 . N"M

The ( "M) refers to the extra meaning of a verb besides its


literal meaning, e.g. (e W W M[ (^) means to expel. The verb is
transitive. Here ( "M) refers to the latter meaning, namely that
of being transitive.
The vastness of the Arabic language can be estimated from the
(N"M) due to the fact that one verb can have so many
different shades of meaning merely by using the verb in different
categories (6 ().

The ('(k) of ( JB )*)

(a !W^W5X ) – to mention a verb after (


B01 6 ) to show that one
object overpowers another, e.g. (;X *XF
[
W€W <^ /D $X h  [ UFW "
W WM) – The
man disputed with me and I overcame him in the dispute.

The ('(k) of ()  )*)

The ( "M) of this category is also (a !W^W5X ) on condition it is


either (H), (I> $() or (I> JK#).
Example:

Page 304 - http://www.al-inaam.com/


Madrassah Inaamiyyah Camperdown
From the Treasures of Arabic Morphology

(;X A“=
[ 0W W <^ =` [„U W [ #U=W 0W W) – I and Rashīd made a mutual promise
and I was predominant in the promise.

The ('(k) of (]} )*)

This (6 ) most often has verbs which have the meaning of

illnesses, grief, joy, colours, defects or physical forms, e.g. (


W )U 2W )
– to become ill.
('
^ ?U W ) – to be grieved.
(_
W U <^) – to become happy.
(W =
U ^ ) – to be blackish.
(W 
U 0W ) – to be one-eyed.

W BU W) – to have broad eyebrows.
This (6 ) is mostly intransitive.

The ('(k) of ( )*)

This (6 ) is always intransitive. It refers to the natural qualities


of a person that are of a permanent nature or a temporary nature
achieved by experience.
Examples: (
W X W ) – to be handsome, (]W !XK^) – to be ugly,
(;W )D <^ ) – to have understanding,

The (>'(k) of (3R$O )*)

(1) (

However, the difference between the two is that in ( B01 6 ),
one is mentioned as the doer (/0<) while the other is mentioned

as the object (1) while in (/01A 6 ), both are mentioned


as doers but in reality each one is the doer as well as the object,

The (>'(k) of (C;'4A )*)

Like (:<@ 6 ), this category also has the following four


meaning patterns:
(0 
2 R N) , (/ &. ,.?R ), ( / 2 ,) and (S
0 '2 $. )
Examples: (6
h W„[ @U) – It became very white.
(
 W[ @U) – He became one-eyed.

The (>'(k) of (C!|4A )*)

(1) (/ &. ,.?R ) – Example: (v^ 


h B^[ @U) – He ran very fast.

This category is (dW*)), that is, a word which has no (/"()


origin nor something similar to the origin.

There are two differences between (6*K@) and (,=* @). It is a

condition for (6*K@) that it must not be used in (78 9:9).


For (,=* @), this is not a condition. Secondly, it is a condition for

(6*K@) to be free of letters of (rc@) and extra letters brought

for a particular meaning (½FB=I ).


An example of a letter of (rc@) is the () of the verb (/
^ B^F[ „W )

Page 320 - http://www.al-inaam.com/


Madrassah Inaamiyyah Camperdown

which was increased to bring this verb onto the scale of (e


W W [ 7W ).
An example of a letter of (½FB =I ) is the hamzah of
(%W W 
b (^) which was added to the verb to render it transitive.

The (>'(k) of (/ , , 42 , )*)


This category has many meaning patterns some of which are:
(1) (
0J2 M, ) – Example: (/^ FW
[ W) – He recited ‘Bismillâh…’.

(2) (
0 .?VA-) – Example: (;X *X[ K^[ W) – I made him don a burqa’.

(3) (/ $
. . ,zR ) – Example: («
W W fb 5W <^ /D [B «
W W fb l^ ) – The night hid
his sight so it became hidden.
This category is used mostly as (]i") and (L0) and

sometimes as (F), e.g. (


^ ?W bW ), (\
W W 2[ W ).

The (>'(k) of (3
/ N 42 , O. )*)

(1) (/ $

Teacher: What special meaning of (<@ 6 ) is found in the

Student: The meaning of ( >=A) – to be transitive is found in this
verb because the (78) of this verb is (: ^ 0W ) which means to be

Challenging Words

A few difficult verbs of the Holy Qur’ân and other verbs will be
mentioned here because the purpose of learning morphology and
syntax is to understand the meaning of the glorious Qur’ân. An
explanation of these verbs generally refreshes one’s knowledge
of morphology.

The verbs will be written according to their pronunciation and


not according to their Qur’ânic script so that the student can
exercise his mind in trying to figure out the original word. In the
analysis, the correct written form of the word will be provided.

'[)D *h<^
Analysis: This is the imperative (() of the verb (K), the

( 5") being ( m O}). The original word was ( W


[ #U[ )D AhU), from the (6 ) of (*<@). It was constructed from the
word (' ^ [ )D *hAW) which was originally ('^ [ X)U *hAW). The ( F) of the
(‰) was transferred to the preceding letter after deleting its

harakah. Due to (G  F*$), the (‰) which was then

changed to () was deleted. Due to the entry of the ( ), the ( s?š

/") of ([)D Ah@U) was deleted. The final (') is not (60‘ '#)
but ( >K '#) which enters the end of a verb between the verb

and the (BQ* ‰) to protect it from receiving a (s ). It was

Page 325 - http://www.al-inaam.com/


Madrassah Inaamiyyah Camperdown
From the Treasures of Arabic Morphology

originally (
[ #U[ )D Ah^<). The (BQ* ‰) was deleted and the (s )
of the ( >K '#) was sufficed upon. This occurs very often.
Due to a (LK), the (s ) is also not pronounced. It becomes

('
U [ )D Ah^<).

'[!XpW [ <^

Analysis: This is similar to ('


U [ )D AhPP^<). The original word
was (
[ #U[ PX!pW [ U
W ). It is the imperative of the verb (d
W PUpW ),
the (6 ) being (O-). It is written as ('
U [ !XpW [ ^<).

Most often confusion arises in verbs where (LK) or (%?$)

occurs, a (>K '#) is added to the end of the word and (LK)
is made on the ('#) after deleting the (BQ* ‰). The student is

perplexed to find a (60‘ '#) in spite of (LK) or (%?$)

whereas the ('#) is ( >K '#).

Similarly, a verb can sound confusing when the (/" s?š) is


deleted from the middle of a sentence, especially when a student
is asked to identify the verb by joining the words and reading
them to him, e.g. in the verse (
[ U $U [  D h…UFW fb FX b ™
X 1b h W*Xh>(^W>) to

Page 326 - http://www.al-inaam.com/


Madrassah Inaamiyyah Camperdown
From the Treasures of Arabic Morphology

[ U $U [ AX), in ([=X !X0[ 


read it as ( \
X h W“>(^W>), to read the verb as
(
[ =X !X[ 2X ), in ([ X $U [  /^ [KU), to read the verb as ([ X $U [ ^) and in ( 6
¢ W
'U [ X $U [ ), to read the verb as ('U [ X $U [ U).

When (W) or (&


^ ) enter the perfect tense of those verbs having
(/" s?š), the alifs of the (W) and (&^ ) are also not pronounced
just as the (/" s?š) is not pronounced. The verbs therefore

sound confusing when read as (d W W*Wo


[ W ), (W f^ 1^ [W ), (W o
W 1^ [^) and
(7W U 
[ *X [ W ). This confusion is intensified in (1# 6 ) because
the entry of (&) creates the word ( [ ^) while the entry of ()
creates the word ( [ W ). The same rule applies to the word
(W [U[ BDi
[ W ). Besides being the (m O}) of (1 2) from
(a [ BDX ), it can also be (dIl w#~ O}), the tense being ( 1#
JK# 8 ) from (<@ 6 ).
Similarly, the word ( W ![ U[ X 
[ W ) is from (<@ 6 ).

[ AX(bW h=<^

Analysis: It was originally (


[ AX(bW h7U<^), the word-form being ( O}
 m), the tense (R!H  ). It is ( F

Page 327 - http://www.al-inaam.com/


Madrassah Inaamiyyah Camperdown
From the Treasures of Arabic Morphology

%:) from (/0<@ 6 ). It was ([ AX(bW h7U). Due to the entry of the
( ), the (/" s?š) is deleted.

[
“ 1^ [^
Analysis: This verb is (dIl m O}), the tense being ( 
R!H ) from (1# 6 ). The () of emphasis entered
the verb, thereby deleting the (/" s?š).

N
W [ 1^ 5[ *W2[ (^

Analysis: Due to the entry of (%1*P2‘ s?Pš), the ( s?Pš


/PP") was deleted. The original word was (N
W [ 1^ 5[ *WPP[2@U)
from (1*2@ 6 ).

'^ [ X pW ^4AW

Analysis: This was originally ('


^ [ X pW ^4*WAW). It is (
mP OP}
P), the tense being ( P P). One (N) was
deleted according to the rule of (/01A 6 ).

Page 328 - http://www.al-inaam.com/


Madrassah Inaamiyyah Camperdown
From the Treasures of Arabic Morphology

N
U qb *WbW
Analysis: This is from the verb (
[ AUqb P
PWA), (wPP#~ =P
P
dPIl), the tense being ( P P(). It is ( P1 PF
I> JK#). Due to the (), the () became (2).

After (), it is compulsory (Pƒ $) to make the (P. %&)


sâkin. The compulsion is due to excessive usage. After
( ), it is permissible to do so (ƒ$).

;U )b *hW>W

Analysis: This verb is from (*< 6 ). It is ( m =


dIl), the tense being (R!H  ). It was originally
(
[ )U *hW>). Due to the jussive mood (%?‹ ), the (‰) at the end is
deleted. A pronoun (F) was then attached to the verb which

created the scale of (/ U U <^) – (;U )U AW). Therefore the (r) became
(2) as the Arabs tend to make the scale of (/
a U <^) into (/a [ <^) as
in (L
` *U^ ). It is pronounced (L
` *[^ ).

Page 329 - http://www.al-inaam.com/


Madrassah Inaamiyyah Camperdown
From the Treasures of Arabic Morphology

;[ $U [ (^
Analysis: This is the imperative (e
U [ (^) of (< 6 ), the word-
form being ( m =). The pronoun was added to the
end of the verb making it (;U $ U [ (^). In the Qur’ân, after this word,
the words ({X WM(^
W ) appear. Therefore the form of (/^ U <U) – (W U $U )
was formed, similar to (/ ^ U@U). The Arabs make the middle letter of
such scales also (2). Consequently, the ({) became (2).

It becomes (;[ $
U [ (^).

h 
W 0W

Analysis: This verb is similar to ([W W ), the word-form being

(dIl m O}) of the verb (W0W ). The tense is ( 


). It was succeeded by a (Lf  ). The rule of
assimilation (%l7) was applied. Therefore it became

([#X^
h [
W 0W ).
h FX #h(^
Analysis: The verb is (
“ FX #W) with ('b (^) attached to it. The word-

Page 330 - http://www.al-inaam.com/


Madrassah Inaamiyyah Camperdown
From the Treasures of Arabic Morphology

form is (BQ* O}) while the tense is (  ). Because


of ('
b (^) it is in the accusative case (d ). It is from ( 6
#) like (=“ FX #W). Assimilation of both the nûns has taken place.

[ Uh*XF[ D

Analysis: The verb is (


h *XF[ D), the word-from being (w#~ O}
), the tense being (R!H  ). It is from ( 6
#) like (h *XBb KD). The ( >K '#) and (BQ* ‰) have been
attached to the end.

h U>W AW h@U

Analysis: From the verb (‰‚W), this is the ( w#~ =)
word-form with the tense being (R!H  ). It is

(I> JK# G F). It was originally ( W [>W AW). Due to the
( B)9 '#), the (6 '#) was deleted. The (‰), not being a

(s=), was rendered a (s ).

Page 331 - http://www.al-inaam.com/


Madrassah Inaamiyyah Camperdown
From the Treasures of Arabic Morphology

W AW [ ^(^

Analysis: From the verb (‰WPWA), this is the (


mP =P
) word-form while the tense is ( P /!)*P  1#
µ OPP). A (%1*PP2& s?P Pš) and (µ) have been attached
before the verb, changing it into the jussive mood ( P
P
%?‹).

W [U^K

Analysis: This is the (/01 2) of the verb (^BK^), from the
(6 6 ). It was originally (W [UU^K). Changes occurred in the
word just as in (
W [U W).
A second possibility is that it could be the imperative of
(
[ U^)X>
^^K) from ( PB01 6P ), the word-form being ( OP}
 w#~).
It could also be ( w#~ =) of the same (6 ). A ( '#
>K) and (BQ* ‰) are attached to the end of the word. The
(BQ* ‰) was deleted and the (s ) of the ( >K '#) was

Page 332 - http://www.al-inaam.com/


Madrassah Inaamiyyah Camperdown
From the Treasures of Arabic Morphology

deleted due to (LK).

The verb is not difficult to distinguish but sometimes when a


word has a similar form in another language, confusion can arise.
This word means carpet in Urdu and Persian and could perhaps
cause confusion.

‰
[ =¢ U W>

Analysis: This verb was originally (‰


[ =U *W[ W>) from (*<
6 ),
the word-form being (dIl m =) and the tense ( 

JK# ). The rule of (*< 6 ) has been applied to it.

'^ [ FX 
¢€
U W>

Analysis: From (*< 6 ), it was originally ('^ [ FX

Analysis: From (*< 6 ), this is the (dIl m =)


word-form, the tense being (L0  ). It was

originally (h f

from the (1*2 6 ), the tense being (  ).The

(N) of (1*2) was deleted.

Analysis: It was originally (
[ W 1^

word that is (JK#).

[ pX [ FX *X[>(^W =[ )^ <^
Analysis: This was originally (
[ *X[>(^W ) like ([ *XBb W <^). When a
pronoun is added to (
[ AX), an extra () is first added to the verb
after the (%). This rule applies to (
[ AX), ([ pX ) and ([ D ) when
suffixed by a (F).

Sometimes a (;2 ‰) is suffixed to a verb that is ( w#~ =


) when a pronoun is attached to it, e.g. the words of a

hadîth, (;U [ A¢=


[ $W W ^ ;U [AU(bW K^ [ ^).

Wp[ FX QD X ?U Bb #X(^

Analysis: The verb is (%X ?U Bb #X) from (< 6 ). A (%1*2& s?š)


is prefixed to the verb and the pronoun (p) is suffixed to it.

Subsequently a second pronoun (


[ D ) is attached to the verb,
thereby requiring a () and making the (%F %).

W*[U

Analysis: This is like the verb (W1b M


U ), the word-form being ( O}
BQ*) and the tense (  ). The question that arises
here is that the () of this verb is used (G %F) in the

Qur’ân. Consequently, the () supposed to be (W*[ X ) like

(WBb KD) because the word-form is (> #). The scholars of tafsîr
have answered this objection by stating that this verb is used both
on the scale of (OF > O-) and (> #). In the Qur’ân, the
() is used from (O- 6 ) and the () from (#).

R

Wo
W !WF[ <^

Analysis: The verb is (R


[
Wo
W !W#[^<) from (1# 6 ), the word-
form being (dIl w#~ =) and the tense ( 

).The (/" s?š) was deleted because of the


precedence of the ( ). Because the (') is succeeded by a (6), it

is pronounced as a (%).

[ *XBb BU4^ <^) from (O- 6 ). The word-
form is ( m O}) and the tense is (  ).
Sometimes the Arabs delete one of the doubled letters. In this
case, the first () was deleted. Sometimes it is pronounced

(
[ *XBb 4U <^) after transferring the harakah of the first () to the (ª).

'^ [ K^

Analysis: According to some scholars, this verb was originally


('
^ [ W Kb @U). According to the previously mentioned rule, the first ()
was deleted after transferring its harakah. No need remained for
the (/" s?š). Therefore it was deleted. The word ('
^ [ K^)
remains.

Analysis: First Possibility: Besides the common verb ([D^K) from

(# 6 ), this is made up of two words (›œKW ) and ([D). The


former is (r1 L1   dIl m =) from

(6) while the latter is ( L1  .  m O}

')) from (O- 6 ).

Second Possibility: The verb is (

applied and the (‰) was changed to (). One () was then

deleted. It became (' ^ [ X W7). When ( <@) was applied to the


pronoun (Wp), the (') was deleted.

Analysis: From the verb (‰


[ U [ W>
‰WW ), this is the verbal noun in
the singular form. It is (') L1) from the (6 6 ). It

was originally (ƒ>[ W ). The () was changed to (‰) and


assimilated. It became (¶>W ).

W#[ BD2W

Analysis: First Possibility: It is the imperative (() of (

word-form being ( m O}) with a pronoun (W#) attached
to it.

Appendix A

Morphology or Etymology?

What is the subject of ( P PB0) called in English? Is it


Morphology or Etymology? Firstly, let us examine the
definitions of both these terms in the light of contemporary
works.

The following definition of Morphology appears in “The


Oxford Companion to the English Language”.

“In linguistics, the study of the structure of words as


opposed to syntax, the study of the arrangement of words
in the higher units of phrases, clauses, and sentences. The
two major branches are inflectional morphology (the study
of inflections) and lexical morphology (the study of word-
formation).” 21
The following has been mentioned under the term,
‘syntax’:
“The ways in which components of words are combined
into words are studied in morphology, and syntax and
morphology together are generally regarded as the major
constituents of grammar, although in one of its uses,
grammar is strictly synonymous with syntax and excludes
morphology.”22

We find the following definition in Websters Dictionary:


“2 a: a study and description of word-formation in a
language including inflection, derivation, and
compounding – distinguished from syntax.
B: the system of word-forming elements and processes in

21

a language.” 23

Encyclopaedia Britannica has the following definition:


“In philology, morphology is that branch of grammar
which examines the forms of words as well as the
principles of word-formation and inflection.” 24

The following definition is found in the World Book:


“Morphology: the study of the formation and structure of
words.” 25

As for Etymology, the following are some of the


definitions one may come across:

“Etymology: Both the study of the history of words and a


statement of the origin and history of a word, including
changes in its form and meaning.” 26

“…that branch of linguistic science which is devoted to


determining the origin of words.” 27

Websters Dictionary provides the following definition:


“The history, often including the pre-history of a linguistic
form (as a word or morpheme) as shown by tracing its
phonetic graphic, and semantic development since its
earliest recorded occurrence in the language where it is
found, by tracing the course of its transmission from one
language to another by analysing it into the component
parts from which it was put together, by identifying its
cognates in other languages or by tracing it and its

cognates back to a common ancestral form in a recorded


or assumed ancestral language.28

The World Book states:


“Etymology is the study of the origins and development of
words.” 29

In Encyclopaedia Britannica, we find the following


definition:
“…that part of linguistics which is concerned with the
origin or derivation of words.” 30

The Students Encyclopedia states:


“… the study of the origins and history of words.”31

The Universal Standard Encyclopedia has the following:


“… that branch of philology which deals with the origin
and derivation of words, and with the comparison of
words in different members of the same language
group.”32

Under the word, ‘morphology’ in Al-Mughni-Al-Akbar, an


English to Arabic dictionary, the meaning is given as ( PB0
PP) while under the entry ‘etymology’, the meaning

provided is (r)*„‘ B0).33

morphology, we find the term ( P


P P
PB0) while under

etymology, we find the term (NFBQ /"qA B0).34

In the Hans Wehr Dictionary of Modern Written Arabic,


under the entry ( P
P PPB0), we find the following:
“morphology (gram.).” 35

These definitions clearly indicate that Etymology deals


with the history of words whereas Morphology deals with
the subject of word-formation. Hence the most appropriate
term for ( P PB0) would be Morphology and not
Etymology as has been erroneously used in some books.
