LessonsNoun Case Classes: Type 6 — Sound Masculine Plural and Related FormsQuiz

Dual: «غُلَامَانِ» → غُلَامَا زَيْدٍ. The dual subject is nominative with alif; nūn disappears in the construct state.
Sound masculine plural: «مُسْلِمُونَ» → مُسْلِمُو مِصْرَ. The coordinated nominative retains wāw but drops its nūn.

زَيْدٍ and مِصْرَ are both genitive complements: Zayd has kasra, whereas Egypt here follows an explained diptote reading with fatḥa.

Remember: Iḍāfa removes the nūn, not the underlying case marker alif or wāw.
