Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : He said:
"And open, close, and break the second of *** a trilateral verb, and add like 'dumina'"
These are the patterns of the verb, to which the author moved after mentioning the patterns of the noun. He said:
"And open, close, and break the second"
He did not speak about the first because the first is open in verbs. In verbs, the first is either closed if it is built for the passive, and he mentioned this by saying:
"And add like 'dumina'"
And everything other than that is open. All verbs are open. Let us leave aside those beginning with the hamzat al-wasl, for this is not its place. Now, regarding the second being open, he says:
"And open, close, and break the second of *** a trilateral verb"
So, how many ways are permissible for the second? Three: closing, opening, and breaking. We start with closing, so we say 'azuma, 'azuma, or not? With breaking?
The student: ...
The Shaykh : Shariba, faraha, here? Opening?
The student: Waqafa.
The Shaykh : Waqafa, daraba, here?
The student: Qa'ada.
The Shaykh : Qa'ada. The patterns of the verb are now complete. Then:
"And add like 'dumina'"
This has a closed first and a broken second. When is the first closed and the second broken?
The student: When it is built for the passive.
The Shaykh : When it is built for the passive. So the patterns of the verb are four. Four: the first is open in all cases, unless it is built for the passive, or not? The second?
The student: Three options.
The Shaykh : Three ways: opening, breaking, and closing. Is that right, Ghanim? Here?
The student: Yes.
The Shaykh : Opening like daraba, and breaking? Like shariba, here? And closing like 'azuma, sharufa, karuma, and the like. And Allah knows best.
