	Femmy Syahrani 7th July, 2012 The word "arā" here is described as perfect verb. But in other places, "raā" is also described as perfect verb. Are they both the perfect verb for root "rā hamza yā"? Or one of them is incorrectly described? Thank you.
	Mazhar A. Nurani 8th July, 2012 Tag is correct except that Form-IV is not mentioned. Its verbal Noun is اِرَاءَةٌ
	Abdul Rahman 8th July, 2012 "raā" means "he saw" (3rd person perfect Form 1) whereas "arā" (3rd person perfect Form IV of the same root letters) means "he showed".
	Femmy Syahrani 10th July, 2012 I see. So they are of different forms. Thank you so much for clearing that up.
	Maqbool Ahmad 13th October, 2013 - I think (79:20:1) should show that it belongs to verb IV
