I mean verbs that begin with the prefix 'it-' in the perfective such as:</div><div>masik - itmasik</div><div>fahhim - itfahhim</div><div>qaabal - itqaabal (This is not a passive but I was interested in any verb that begins with 'it-' whether passive or not).</div><div><br></div><div>These verbs are usually termed passive verbs (although this might not be the most accurate description). The are also sometimes called t-stem verbs (by Woidich).</div><div><br></div><div>If anybody knows of anything outside of the the comprehensive grammars of EA, especially journal articles or dissertations on the subject I'd really appreciate the info.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks so much,</div><div>Farzan Zaheed</div><div>University of Texas at Austin.</div><div><br></div>--------------------------------------------------------------------------<br>End of Arabic-L: 03 Nov 2010</body></html>
