9/12.4 - Form III. مُفَاعَلًةً Mufaa-‘ala

 


Section 12.4 - Form III.
مُفَاعَلًةً Mufaa-‘ala

 

Form III is called مُفَاعَلًةً mufaa-‘ala-tan.Past tense of this form is فَاعَلَ faa-‘alaand imperfect tense is يُفَاعِلُ yufaa-‘ilu and its source مَصْدَرٌ Masdar is مُفَاعَلًةً mu-faa-'ala-tan. The benefit of this form is that it also changes the meaning of the Verb from normal action to that of being associated in an action which has an Actor/Subject (فَاعِلٌ faa-'i-lun) and a object (مَفْعُوْلٌ maf-'oo-lun). For example, نَفَقَ na-fa-qa to نَافَقَ naa-fa-qa. نَفَقَ na-fa-qa means to hide/get spent. When changed to نَافَقَ naa-fa-qa, it means to become a hypocrite. This is another form that has been used in Al-Qur’an. The inflections for this are also processed exactly as we did for the trilateral roots as shown in the table below:
