And lexical feminization with the ta also requires that it be a proper noun. The adjective form does not occur in it. The adjective form does not occur in it. Pay attention. So, write down: Feminine includes the feminine with the alif, the semantic feminine, and the lexical feminine, meaning without an alif, without an alif.
