20.9 When the hamzah occurs between two longalifs (^) اءا /a ̄
a ̄/, it
is again written without a bearer, e.g. ِق َرا َءا ٌت qira ̄
a ̄tun ‘readings’ (not:
ِق َرا َأا ٌت).
20.10 Hamzah at the end of a word (or word stem)
When hamzah with a vowel occurs at the end of a word (or word
stem) after a vowel, the bearer of the hamzah is the related letter of the
preceding vowel, regardless of the vowel of the hamzah, e.g.
(a) َب َد َأ bada
a, he started (
alif (^) ا is the related letter of the preceding
vowel /a/)
(b) َج ُر َؤ g ̆aru
a, he dared (wa ̄w (^) و is the related letter of the preceding
vowel /u/)
(c) ُق ِر َئ quri
a, it was read (ya ̄
(^) ى is the related letter of the preceding
vowel /i/)
Note: If a word ending in hamzah has the accusative ending with nunation
/...an/, an extra final
alif (^) ا is added (as in the above example: بـ ًؤاَُّتـ َنـ tanabbu
an
‘prophecy’), except when the bearer of the hamzah itself is
alif (^) ا (owing to a
preceding fath
̇
ah or
alif), e.g. َن َب ًأ naba
an (not: َن َب ًأا), َم َسا ًء masa ̄
an ‘evening’
(not: َم َسا ًءا); see the following paragraph.
20.11 When hamzah with a vowel occurs at the end of a word (or
word stem) following a long vowel or suku ̄n, the hamzah will have no
bearer:
