    Introduction

    Arabic Morphology ( ) is a branch of ArabicGrammar 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 beenadopted instead of the Urdu forms commonly found in the

    text books of Islamic seminaries. Thus I have used the

    term ( ) instead of ( ). Similarly, insteadof writing (), the correct Arabic form of ()has been used while the term () is used instead of() which is incorrect. This will enable the student tolearn 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

    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. mn.

    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.

    The Second Category of Verbs

    With regard to the root letters ( ) of a verb, theyare of two types:Term Meaning Example 3 root letters or

    triliteral

    4 root letters orquadriliteral

    Each of these two types is further divided into two categories:

    (1) () the () consists of root letters only, withoutany extra letters.

    (2) ( ) - the () has root letters plus extra letters.

    This results in the following four categories:

    Types of Nouns

    (1) There are three types of nouns - ():[a] , [b] and [c] .(2) The ( verbal noun) is a word that indicates theoccurrence of an action and is free of tense e.g. () to assist.

    (3) The () is a word derived from a verb e.g. () helper is derived from ().(4) The () is neither a () nor a () e.g.() man.

    (5) The () and the () also fall under thecategories of (), (), () and ( ) likethe (). The categories mentioned under the verb like() etc. also apply to an ().(6) The noun () with regard to its letters can eitherhave three root letters (triliteral), four root letters

    (quadriliteral) or five root letters (quinquiliteral). It is

    therefore of six types:

    [1] ( ) e.g. () a man[2] ( ) e.g. () a donkey

    [3] ( ) e.g. () scorpion

    [4] ( ) e.g. ( ) - paper[5] ( ) e.g. () - quince[6] ( ) e.g. () aspider

    (7) The scholars of morphology generally deal with the

    () because most of the changes () occur in a() while few changes occur in an () and none occurin a ().

    The Scales of Verbs

    The Arabic verb is constructed from a root which usuallyconsists 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 ( ). In mostdictionaries, 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 (

    ), denoting actions completed at the time to

    which reference is made; and the imperfect (), forincompleted actions, referring to the present or future

    tenses. The present and future tenses are thus expressed by

    the imperfect form (). The imperative () maybe considered a modification of the imperfect.

    To indicate patterns or type-forms of verbs, the

    grammarians use the three letters of the verb (), wherethe () 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

    () or standard by which the root letters of a verb are

    determined. Accordingly, the word () is on the scaleof (), () is on the scale of () and ()is on the scale of ().

    The letter that corresponds to the () of the () iscalled the ( ), that which corresponds to the () iscalled the ( ) while the letter corresponding tothe () is called the ( ).Example: the word () is on the scale of ():

    The Categories of Triliteral Verbs

    ( )(1) The first and third letters of a simple triliteral verb in

    the active tense is always vowelled with a fathah ().The second letter or radical may be vowelled by a (),

    () or (). The active perfect tense ( ) of triliteral verbs ( ) is used on threescales:

    [a] e.g. ()[b] e.g. ()[c] e.g. ()

    (2) The conjugation of the () and () forms is similarto the conjugation of ().(3) The imperfect tense ( ) of () is

    sometimes () e.g. ( ) and sometimes ()e.g. ( ) and sometimes () e.g. ().(4) The conjugation of the () and () is similar tothe conjugation of (

    ).

    (9) Based on the above-mentioned facts, there are six

    categories () of ( ) which are as follows:( ) )1(

    ( ) )3( ( ) )4(

    ( ) )5( ( ) )6(

    (10) There is no rule to specify which verb belongs towhich category (). It is based on () as heardfrom 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(

    The Perfect Active Tense ( )

    (1) There are 14 word-forms () of the perfect tense( ). All three diacritical points or vowels() can be used on the ( ) as is apparentfrom the above-mentioned six categories ().

    (2) The Arab Grammarians usually begin the Perfect () and Imperfect ( ) conjugations with thethird person (), followed by the second person() and finally the first person ().

    (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.

    (), e.g. the () of () has a sukn. The second lettercan have any of the three harakt, depending on which category

    () the verb belongs to.

    In the indicative case (

    The ( ) is a derived noun referring to the permanentquality of an entity, e.g. () beautiful. The ( ) onthe other hand describes a temporary quality e.g. () listening at the moment. A person will only be referred to as

    (

    ) if the quality of (

    ) emanates from him whereas the

    attribute of () applies to a person all the time.The ( ) is always intransitive () even though it may beconstructed from a transitive verb (). Hence the differencebetween () and () is that () indicates a beinglistening at the moment while () indicates a being whichpermanently has the quality of listening even though there may

    be no object. Therefore one can say ( ), but to say( ) is incorrect. The ( ) has six word-formslike the (

    ). For the dual and plural forms, changes are

    made to the end as in the ( ).

    Hereunder follows the paradigm of the ( ):

    ) as heard from the Arabs. Sometimes

    a (), () or () is inserted after the second alphabet, e.g.(), (), (). Sometimes the root-form remainsintact but a change occurs in the harakt, e.g. (), (),(). Some of the more common scales are listed hereunder.

    The Intensive Adjective ( )

    The ( ) is a noun that indicates excess in meaning ofthe verbal noun e.g. () one who hits a lot. The differencebetween ( ) and ( ) is that in ( ),the excess meaning is limited to itself without taking others into

    consideration whereas in the (

    ), the excess in

    meaning is in comparison to others. Hence ( ) or( ) is in comparison to others while () is not incomparison to anyone.

    In the ( ), there is no difference in gender. Sometimesa () is added for excess in meaning, e.g. ( ) a verylearned man, ( ) - a very learned woman.

    When () is in the meaning of (), or () is in themeaning of (

    ), a differentiation is made between the

    masculine and feminine forms. Examples:

    ( ) , ( )( ) , ( ).

    The () of ( )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, (), which is theroot, means to help. From this verb the following verbs are

    derived with differing meanings:

    Verb Meaning

    to support

    to try to help to render mutual assistance

    to come to someones aid

    to ask for assistance

    Another example of derived verbs is () which means to kill.When extra letters are added to this root, the following meanings

    are achieved.

    Verb Meaning

    to massacre

    to combat, battle

    to fight with one another

    to risk ones life

    Very few verb roots have all the other derived forms. Some have

    only one (like to drive away) or two (like 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. (

    - to arrange).

    The () of ( ) are twelve in total. They areformed by adding extra letters to the ( ) of ( ). Upto a maximum of three extra letters can be added to averb, thus bringing the maximum number of letters of a verb to

    six (root letters plus extra letters).

    Seven of these () have ( ) at the beginning whilefive do not have. Besides ( ), every letter with a ()will become () in the ( ) except for the
