	Abdul Rahman 28th February, 2015 PN – accusative masculine proper noun → Pharaoh Although the noun ends in "dhamma" , it is considered in the position of nasb (accusative) because it is the "addressee" following a vocative particle: Refer to Bahjat, Vol. 4, page 48. يا: أداة النداء فرعون: منادى مبني على الضم في محل النصب This rule is correctly stated in 17:102:14
	Abdul Rahman 28th February, 2015 Sorry, it is correct stated in 7:104:3
