As-Sarf Lesson # 17

Divisions of  حُرُوف العِلَّة

{ حُرُوف العِلَّة   are the 3 weak letters: (ا) "alif", (و) "wāw", & (ي) "yā’"}

These verbs are called  مُعْتَل  - i.e. one of the three  ف  al-Kalimah, ع  al-Kalimah or ل  al-Kalimah will have a  (ا), (و) or (ي).

{* There are 4 divisions but we will be taking only 3.}

1.     First division is when the  حُرُوف العِلَّة  is in the place of  ف  al-kalimah.
E.g. وَعَدَ  and  يَسَرَ  

In  وَعَدَ -  This verb has  حُرُوف العِلَّة  in its root. The ' ف ' al-kalimah of this word has a  و (waaw).    

Another example is :  يَسَرَ  - The ' ف '  al-kalimah of this word has a  ي  (ya).
In the case of  وَعَدَ  and  يَسَرَ  we don't have to search for the root letters as the root letters are clear. It will always be a و  or a ي and never an Alif in the place of  ف   al-kalimah. The reason being the Alif is always a sukoon and it cannot be pronounced.

2.     Second division is when the  حُرُوف العِلَّة  is in the place of  ع al-kalimah.
E.g.  صَاْمَ  and  باْعَ
The root letters are not clear in these two words  صَاْمَ  and  باْعَ  because of the presence of Alif in these words.

3.     The third division is when the  حُرُوف العِلَّة  is in the place of  ل al-kalimah.
E.g.  مَشَى  and  دَعَاْ

The point of knowing this is that each particular division has a particular rule of conjugation.

** NOTE:  You will not find in the Arabic language a word comprising of only  حُرُوف العِلَّة


 


Look up the definitions for the following words, conjugate them and make sentences:

 1. يَسَرَ -
 2. وَعَدَ
 3. وَضَع
 4. وَرِثَ
