- The Derivation of the Active Participle. =============================================
The Active Participle derivation pattern for verb Form I is usuallyفاعِل . For the other forms (II-X), the pattern is to prefix (مـُ ) to the stem. The stem vowel on the second radical is always Kasra. An exception to that is for pattern IX, which has to be FatHa. Notice the following examples:
**** (IV** ** ** ، مُقبـِل ( (III) ، مُساعِد**(II)** مُدرِّس**
** (VII) ، مَنصَرِف** ** ) VI) ، مُتراسِل (V) **مُتکـَلـِّم ** **
(X) مُستـَقبـِل ، (IX) ، مُحمَرّ **(VIII) ** مُستـَمِع
