The book's paradigm presents eight forms: four masculine and four feminine. Each gender has singular, dual and two plural patterns.
Masculine: أَفْعَلُ، أَفْعَلَانِ، أَفْعَلُونَ، أَفَاعِلُ.
Feminine: فُعْلَى، فُعْلَيَانِ، فُعْلَيَاتٌ، فُعَلٌ.
These are patterns, not eight unrelated roots. The letters fāʾ, ʿayn and lām stand for the root radicals. Both plural alternatives shown in the original table are retained.
