ABSTRACT
The Arabic cardinal numbers, https://s3-euw1-ap-pe-df-pch-content-public-p.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/9781315620091/d5f07bf9-fccb-48ca-88bd-ee90d2df29de/content/inline2240.tif"/> are rather complicated and even native speakers make errors in using them. It is important to remember that the numbers 3-10 take the feminine form with Tāᵓ mar-būṭah (https://s3-euw1-ap-pe-df-pch-content-public-p.s3.eu-west-1.amazonaws.com/9781315620091/d5f07bf9-fccb-48ca-88bd-ee90d2df29de/content/inline2241.tif"/>) when they qualify a masculine noun, but the masculine form when they qualify a feminine noun.
