What are Arabic patterns called?

Post by Isfendil »

I know that Hebrew calls its verbal patterns binyanim and its noun patterns mishkalim. I also have heard the words wazn, wuzun, and awzān before, but cannot remember which part of the verbal process they refer to in Arabic. Also, what do arab grammarians call their noun patterns and is there a dictionary where I can find a list of the noun patterns?

Don't know of them every having names for their noun patterns, but their verb patterns, they've called them "measures".

So what is the actual CLA word for the measure, the root, and so on?

Usually awzaan al-ism and awzaan al-fi3l (أوزان الاسم٫ اوزان الفعل).
