[moderator's note: sorry, but nothing I do seems to prevent this from  
being garbled; for what it's worth:]

"indefinite /mar'u[n]/"  is simply wrong.

The following is from لسان العرب (lisaan al arab):

  المَرْءُ الإنسان   تقول : هذا مَرْءٌ

  ٍمُرْءٌ وضربت مَرْءًا ومررت بمِرْءقام

  بمَرْءٍ من يقول : قام مَرءٌ وضربت مَرْءًا ومررت ومنهم

  ً: هذا مَرْءٌ صالحٌ ، ومررت بِمَرْءٍ صالحٍ ورأَيت مَرْءًا صالحاتقول

  : وضم الميم لغة ، تقول : هذا مُرْؤٌ ورأَيت مُرْءًا ومررت بمُرْءٍقال

  ٍبِمِرْء: هذا مُرْءٌ ورأَيت مَرْءًا ومررت وتقول
