وَاعْلَمْ أَنَّ «يَا» مِنْ حُرُوفِ النِّدَاءِ، وَقَدْ تُسْتَعْمَلُ فِي الْمَنْدُوبِ أَيْضًا، وَهُوَ الْمُتَفَجَّعُ عَلَيْهِ بِـ«يَا» أَوْ «وَا»، كَمَا يُقَالُ: «يَا زَيْدَاهْ!» وَ«وَا زَيْدَاهْ!».
Translation: “Yā” can also be used for lamentation over someone; the lament may begin with “yā” or “wā”, as in “yā Zaydāh” and “wā Zaydāh”.
Nudba conveys lament rather than an ordinary call. A lamentation alif and a pause-hāʾ may occur at the end.
