Reading from Ibn Aqil’s commentary (may Allah have mercy on him), with the Shaykh’s annotations: " .

The reader: In the name of Allah:
"If one stops on a defective noun with tanwin, if it is in the accusative case, replace its tanwin with an alif, as in 'I saw a qadi'."
The Shaykh : No, no, replace its tanwin with an alif.
The student: It is with tanwin.
The Shaykh : ... Yes, it has tanwin, but when stopping, make the tanwin an alif.
The reader: "As in 'I saw a qadi.' If it is not in the accusative case, the preferred option is to stop on it by omitting the ya, unless it is a noun with a missing 'ayn or fa, as will be mentioned later. So you would say: 'This is a qadi' and 'I passed by a qadi.' It is permissible to stop on it by keeping the ya, as in the recitation of Ibn Kathir: If the defective noun is one with a missing 'ayn, like 'marr' (the active participle of 'ara'), or a missing fa, like 'kayfi' when it is a proper noun, it is not stopped upon except by keeping the ya, so you would say: 'This is...'."
The Shaykh : Why did he say: "like 'kayfi' when it is a proper noun"? Is it because 'yafi' is originally a present tense verb? Or not?
The student: Yes.
The Shaykh : But we can make it a proper noun, like 'yashkur' (he thanks) made into a proper noun, or 'yazid' (a verb) made into a proper noun. Yes, very good.
