The verb hahar , to get a girl married, is of necessity, conju¬ 
gated in the past tenses only in the feminine. Moreover it forms its 
feminine Past Participle, optionally, in an irregular fashion (viii. iii. 76), 
Thus, ^4^ hahar^-n or haraqP-n, he got her married.

Notes. (i) Once for all. By the first person singular, is meant, 
‘ I made him, her, them (masc.), or them (fern.)/ literally, 4 he, she, they 
(masc.), or they (fern.) were made by me.’ So the second person 
singular means 4 thou madest him, her, them (masc.), or them (fern.),’ 
and so on, through the other persons. 
(2) There is no suffix for the first person plural. Hence this 
form is always the same as the past participle.
