Verse (73:15), Word 10 - Quranic Grammar

__

The tenth word of verse (73:15) is a masculine proper noun and is in the genitive case (مجرور). The case marker is a fatḥah instead of a kasrah because the proper noun is a diptote (ممنوع من الصرف).

Chapter (73) sūrat l-muzamil (The One wrapped in Garments)


(73:15:10)

PN – genitive masculine proper noun → Pharaoh اسم علم مجرور بالفتحة بدلاً من الكسرة لأنه ممنوع من الصرف

The analysis above refers to the fifteenth verse of chapter 73 (sūrat l-muzamil):

Sahih International: Indeed, We have sent to you a Messenger as a witness upon you just as We sent to Pharaoh a messenger.

Can we have an article explaining what a diptote (ممنوع من الصرف) is?

Salam. This is a good idea. Would anyone care to write one or two paragraphs on this topic, and post on this page as comments?

"About Diptotes

A diptote is a noun that reflects the nominative case with the ضمة vowel, and both accusative and genitive cases with the فتحة vowel. Moreover, such a noun does not receive تنوين التمكن (a type of nunation). In Arabic, a diptote is noun as ممنوع من الصرف or غير منصرف (change restricted)".

Assalam o alaikum Kais Dukes,

Alhamdulillah this website is a treasure trove of Knowledge and Ilm. May Allah SWT Accept it from you and Reward you manyfold. I have no words to praise this effort of yours for the Qur'an e Adheem. I have a request please. I need to know the syntactic break-up of Surah Rum till Surah Qaf and was really saddened to know that it's not available on this wonderful, wonderful website. Can anyone please help? :(

JazaakAllahu Khairan.
