- In this section we will continue learning about the Diptotes In-Shā’-Allâh.
- Some of the other types of the un-nunated nouns are:
- Adjectives on the Pattern of فَعْلانُ: The adjectives on the pattern of فَعْلانُ do not take the double vowel sign i.e., they are diptotes. e.g.:
- The adjectives on the pattern of أَفْعَلُ: All the adjectives on the pattern of أَفْعَلُ are un-nunated and hence they never take Tanwīn. e.g.:
- Non Arabic Proper nouns: Most of the non Arabic proper nouns are unnunated and therefore they do not take Tanwīn. e.g.:
- The Biblical Names: Most of the Biblical names do not take Tanwīn e.g., names of most of the Prophets: i.e.:يَعْقُوبُ، إِسْحَاقُ، عِيْسَى، دَاوُدُ etc. because they are not derived from an Arabic origin.
- Other Foreign Arabicised Names: All the foreign names which have been Arabicised do not have Tanwīn on them e.g.: يَنَايِرُ، بَاكِسْتَانُ، مُوسْكُو، لَنْدَنُ، طِهْرَانُ etc.
- Exception to this Rule: However the non Arabic names comprising of three radicals only are Nunated such as: نُوحٌ، لُوطٌ
- Let’s review some examples for a better understanding of the rule:
