1. In Arabic morphology In general, the formation of these adjectives is a simple matter, the suffixation taking place directly without modification of the vocalisation or consonantal structure of the nouns to which it is applied: s̲h̲ams “sun”, s̲h̲amsī “solar”; ḳamar “moon”, ḳamarī “lunar”; Miṣr “Egypt”, Miṣrī “Egyptian”, etc. It should be noted, however, that in certain cases alterations occur for which the grammarians have been at pains to codify rules. Only the most frequent modifications will be cited here: omission of the tāʾ marbūṭa : Baṣra ; transformation of the final -ā ( or ) …

(a.), adjectif de relation formé par l’addition à un nom du suffixe –iyyun au masc. sing., -iyyatun au fém. sing., -iyyūna au masc. pl. et -iyyātun au fém. pl. L’omission de plus en plus fréquente du tanwīn fait que la sonante longue du masc. sing., dès lors en finale, s’abrège en *-iy, avant que cette diphtongue ne se réduise à la voyelle -t, ainsi translittérée, mais encore abrégée en -i dans la prononciation. Une forme de nisba différente, qui n’est plus productive, est le schème faʿālin/ al-faʿālī, fém. faʿāliyatun: yamānin d’al-Yaman, s̲h̲aʾāmin, d’ al-S̲h̲aʾm, tahāmin, de Tihāmatu. 1.…
