The name أَحْمَدُ follows the pattern أَفْعَل, a verb-like pattern; its initial hamza is also among the imperfect prefix letters.
When Aḥmad is a person’s proper name, proper-name status and verb pattern combine, so it is ordinarily diptote.
It has ḍamma in nominative, fatḥa in accusative and ordinary genitive, without tanwīn.
