Majhūra/Mahmūsa
(1,417 words)
The terms
majhūra/mahmūsa denote a phonological correlation, generally held to correspond to the opposition between voiced/voiceless (e.g. Schaade 1911:13), or to that between lenis/fortis phonemes (for a discussion of the difference between these two oppositions, see Ladefoged and Maddieson 1996:95–99).

ʾidġām was used by the Kufan school of grammar, whereas

Hamʿ II, 225 quoting Ibn Ḥayyān). In fact, Troupeau (1976) has a total of 217 occurrences for the verb
ʾadġama in the
Kitāb and 141 for the masdar
