Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Then he said: "The measure of the name
"The measure of the present tense is the active participle *** of the non-triliteral, like the connected"
Huh?
The student: "Triliteral".
The Shaykh :"Of the non-triliteral, like the connected"
This is consistent
"The measure of the present tense is the active participle of the non-triliteral" "Of the non-triliteral"
What does it include?
The student: The quadriliteral and the quintiliteral.
The Shaykh : And the quintiliteral and the sextiliteral.
The student: And the septiliteral.
The Shaykh : Yes, the septiliteral, the octiliteral, the noniliteral, and the deciliteral, no, it includes the quadriliteral, the quintiliteral, and the sextiliteral, "The measure of the present tense is the active participle"
Meaning: The active participle of the non-triliteral is on the measure of the present tense exactly. An example from the quadriliteral: "Akrama" (he honored), what is the active participle? "Mukrim" (honoring), because the present tense is on the measure of "yukrim" (he honors), on the measure of "yukrim" (he honors), so the active participle is on the measure of its present tense. Okay, "Dahraj" (he rolled)?
The student: "Mudhraj" (rolling).
The Shaykh : "Mudharrij" (rolling), because the present tense is "yudharrij" (he rolls). Okay, if I say "Istafaa" (he chose), what is the active participle?
The student: "Mustafii" (choosing).
The Shaykh : "Mustafii" (choosing), the active participle, because the present tense is on the measure of "yustafii" (he chooses). Okay, "Ijtibaa" (he selected), what is the active participle from it?
The student: "Mujtabii" (selecting).
The Shaykh : "Mujtabii" (selecting), because the present tense is "yajtabi" (he selects), right? "Ijtibaa" (he selected), so it is "Mujtabii" (selecting) because the present tense is on the measure of "yajtabi" (he selects), right? Does this not break down for us? This is it, but the author says:
