LessonsThe Muʿrab Noun — DefinitionQuiz

وَلَا يُشْبِهُ مَبْنِيَّ الْأَصْلِ
Translation: and not resembling inherently fixed forms.

The book names three kinds of inherently fixed forms: particles, commands directed to the addressee, and past-tense verbs. Their form is not varied by nominative, accusative, or genitive case factors acting on nouns.

Teaching examples
«فِي»: a preposition, “in”.
«اُكْتُبْ»: an imperative, “write!”.
«كَتَبَ»: a past verb, “he wrote”.

These examples are not categories of noun; they illustrate what “inherently mabnī” means.
