On 28th October, 2014, we studied ism al-aalah. It is also a kind of al-mushtaqqaat, and so, it is a part of Sarf.
Ism al-Aalah is a word that describes the tool for a verb. It can easily be derived from verb. There are three meters (wazn) for ism al-zarf.
- مِفْعَلٌ
- مِفْعَلَةٌ
- مِفْعَالٌ
Fataha (فَتَحَ) is past tense for third person singular masculine that means he opened. From it, ism al-aalah is derived as miftaahun (مِفْتَاحٌ). It means tool to open something i.e. key. It is from the third meter.
From the second meter, we can have the example of miknasatun (مِكْنَسَةٌ). And, from the first meter, we can have the example of mibradun (مِبْرَدٌ).
