﻿ARABIC INTO PERSIAN. 221 



with respect to phrases purely Arabic, and whole 

 sentences, which are often met with in Persian au- 

 thors, they require a perfect knowledge of the Arabic 

 language, and do not belong to this place. 



OF THE CONSTRUCTION OF ARABIC 

 INFINITIVES, PARTICIPLES, SUB- 

 STANTIVES, AND ADJECTIVES. 



I. In the Persian language, when Arabic adjectives 

 or participles are made use of to qualify Arabic or 

 Persian substantives singular, they agree with them 

 in gender and number. 



Ex.

 by an Arabic part. mas. fi 



2. an Arabic sub. fern, qualified Xoj-X^j sjJl_j respected mother 



by an Arabic part. pas. fern.

an Arabic ad. mas. fi 



4. a Pers. sub. fern, qualified by sj-j ys. **£*+& dear sister 



an Arabic ad. fern, * 



II. When Arabic adjectives and participles are 

 made use of to qualify Arabic and Persian substan- 

 tives masculine and plural, they remain in the mas- 

 culine singular. 



Ex. 



1. an Arabic sub. mas. plu. with _j^f^ -l.Ca. the said officers 

 an Arabic part. mas. sing.
