	Maqbool Ahmad 9th December, 2016 Why the masculine verb يَدْعُونَنِي used? I thought the verb should be feminine.
	Abdul Rahman 19th December, 2016 The tagging is wrong. It should be tagged: V – 3rd person feminine plural imperfect verb. In this particular case, يدعون is the form of both the 3rd person masculine plural imperfect and the 3rd person feminine imperfect of the root dāl ʿayn wāw (د ع و).
