Tenth الْعَاشِرُ al-ashiru الْعَاشِرَةُ al-ashiratu (Imalah) اِمَالَه. Verbally it means to dispose or to make inclined. Conventionally it means to bend a sound of fathah to kasrah and the sound of long vowel alif to the sound of long vowel ya'. For example, in English we pronounce the word, 'Call' in a way that the sound of letter "C" is straight and long. However, if we pronounce the word, 'Cable', here the sound of letter "C" is a bit inclined instead of being straight. This is 'Imalah' or inclination. In the Holy Qur'ān (11:42) there is a word, ✡ó (majrīhā). In this word "rä"" instead of reading as "rī" will be read as ر "rai" like in English word "rain". After vertical kasrah if there is a blank bend, the vertical kasrah changes to a prolonged kasrah. This is the only example of this kind in the Holy Qur'ān. بَاب BAB. The fi'l (verb) or ism (Noun) derived from a maşdar (Infinitive). e. g. Fi'l Māḍī (Past tense), Fi'l Mudāri (Imperfect tense: a verb indicating Present or Future tense), Fi'l Amr (Imperative tense), Ism Fa'il (Active Participle), Ism Maf'ūl (Passive Participle) and their tenses which have been arranged in a special way, the combination of all these is called a Bāb. ******* 170
