Equivalence (muwāfaqah) means a Form X verb may carry a sense close to a verb of another pattern. The textbook provides four comparisons; the first two are:
اِسْتَقَرَّ وَقَرَّ
Translation: He settled/remained still; a comparable Form I meaning.
اِسْتَجَابَ وَأَجَابَ
Translation: He answered/responded; a comparable Form IV meaning.
The first pair illustrates correspondence with Form I, and the second with Form IV. The patterns remain morphologically distinct even where lexical meanings overlap.
