The active participle identifies the performer and has six noun forms. For sound basic triliterals, its usual pattern is فَاعِلٌ, to which dual, plural and feminine endings are added.
For a perfect verb longer than three letters, derive the participle from the active imperfect by adding initial مُ, placing kasrah on the penultimate letter, and using a suitable noun ending.
نَصَرَ ← نَاصِرٌ
أَكْرَمَ ← مُكْرِمٌ
اِجْتَنَبَ ← مُجْتَنِبٌ
تَقَبَّلَ ← مُتَقَبِّلٌ
These forms identify an agent, rather than a specific time at which an event occurred.
