Verbal substantives

The verbal nouns (also called verbals or verbids) are deverbal nouns that behave syntactically (i.e. in phrases) like verbs. A verbal noun in our usage of the term can be either a verbal substantive or a verbal adjective. (Note, however, that the term “verbal noun” in modern usage usually means a verbal substantive.)

Most verb stems have only one or two common maṣdar stems, but Stem Ⅰ is special in that it has 10 common maṣdar stems.

One frequently these will be Stem Ⅰ of them will actually can look those up in a dictionary.

Sometimes they will look like verbal nouns of other stems. For example, 71:17
