Abdul Rahman 27th October, 2013 The verb is in fact "3rd person masculine PLURAL, imperfect, JUSSIVE mood. It loses its "nun" because it is jussive. It loses it "wau" because of the attachment of the suffixed "nun" of emphasis. Notice however that the letter "'ain" has a dhommah, which is the sign of the plurality of the verb. V – 3rd person masculine plural(form III) imperfect verb, jussive mood.
