Quranic Syntax: The Noun-Adjective Combinations 3



Quranic Syntax: The Noun-Adjective Combinations 3

 Also Read: Quranic Syntax: The Noun-Adjective Combinations 1

The morphological data analysis of the Quran shows 3 types of Noun-Adjective patterns in general. The Third Noun-Adjective Combination is
{(Possessive) N-Pron} +( Det + Adj).
A well-known example can be found in the verse (7:16)

قَالَ فَبِمَا أَغْوَيْتَنِي لَأَقْعُدَنَّ لَهُمْ صِرَاطَكَ الْمُسْتَقِيمَ

[Satan] said, "Because You have put me in error, I will surely sit in wait for them on Your straight path

In Quranic Arabic, possessive combination achieves the status of definiteness, so it is followed by a definite adjective. Grammatical Case reference (NOMinative, ACCusative and GENitive) is given here for advanced learners.

(My heart-felt gratitude goes to Tom-S, Excel MVP, for his kind and quick help in Excel pattern analysis 3.)
