Al-Lawāsiq Fil Af’āl Ar-Rubā’iyyah

Abstract

The word in Arabic has a free meaning if it has not been affixed to any letter, if there are affixes in it then it becomes bound, and changes its shape, and becomes narrower in meaning. This statement can be seen in the following example: “qarfaṣa” means sitting on the ground and holding hands under the feet, whereas if in the letter “ta” it becomes “taqarfaṣa” which means covering himself with clothes, and the word “za” ‘za “a“ which means to shake, when it ends with the letter” ta “then it becomes” za’za’at “which means she has been shaken. From the two previous examples, the researcher saw that the letter “ta” can change meaning and also narrow the meaning. Both are part of affixes in the ruba’i verb, so this paper will explain the type of affix in the ruba’i verb.
